Painting Quotes

I love putting paint on canvas, getting lost in the process of painting Picture Quote #1

I had stopped painting around 2000, which I guess was when the music thing started getting pretty busy. I just didn’t have enough time to pursue it properly Picture Quote #1

I used to do stop motion in my own garage and Claymation and all that stuff. That led to doing backgrounds and matte paintings. I started doing matte paintings professionally back before the computer, sort of painting on glass Picture Quote #1

In its primary aspect, a painting has no more spiritual message than an exquisite fragment of Venetian glass. The channels by which all noble and imaginative work in painting should touch the soul are not those of the truths of lives Picture Quote #1

I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don’t paint every day. I’m not that motivated Picture Quote #1

Painting is a field that attracts a lot of lazy people. You can just sort of sit and wait for things to come to you. I know a lot of painters who’ll sit and chat it up all night. But God, I just can’t do that Picture Quote #1

Acting, music, painting... it’s very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all Picture Quote #1

I do all these various activities like painting and writing, comedy and films probably because not that I’m good at everything but because I’m not good at any of these things Picture Quote #1

Three things are needed for success in painting and sculpture: to see beauty when young and accustom oneself to it, to work hard, and to obtain good advice Picture Quote #1

I’ve certainly always had a very high regard for Botswana and so I paint a very good picture of the country and I’ve never pretended to be painting an entirely realistic picture Picture Quote #1

Every good picture leaves the painter eager to start again, unsatisfied, inspired by the rich mine in which he is working, hoping for more energy, more vitality, more time - condemned to painting for life Picture Quote #1

Objective painting is not good painting unless it is good in the abstract sense Picture Quote #1

Good people are those who don’t hold in the thoughts, but find proper outlets like writing, painting, music, etc Picture Quote #1

To feel the grace of God in a painting of the dear, quiet commonness of a domestic interior, or in a landscape, seascape, cityscape, trains us to feel the grace of God in the thing itself in situ Picture Quote #1

While great leaders may be as rare as great runners, great actors, or great painters, everyone has leadership potential, just as everyone has some ability at running, acting, and painting Picture Quote #1

The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don’t want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don’t have a soul Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it was pain that made [Vincent Van Gogh] great - I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had Picture Quote #1

Refine your senses through the great masters of music, painting, and poetry Picture Quote #1

As a kid, there was a painting of ‘Appeal to the Great Spirit’ that I would see when I would get oatmeal bowls out of the cupboard. This painting, it was so real to me that it frightened me Picture Quote #1

Just as no great painting has ever been created by a committee, no great vision has ever emerged from the herd Picture Quote #1

Writing requires a great deal of skill, just like painting does. People don’t want to learn those skills Picture Quote #1

The Greeks had the greatest architectonic gifts. Every art has its climax at some point, and here architecture had its high point. Modeling and painting reached their climax elsewhere. Despite the gigantic pyramids, the most wonderful architecture appears in the Greek temple Picture Quote #1

Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It’s the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer Picture Quote #1

I wrote ‘My Name is Red’ just to remember painting, where the hand does it before the intellect. When I’m captive to it, I’m a happier person. Kierkegaard tells us that a happy person is someone who lives in the present; the unhappy person, someone who lives either in the past or the future Picture Quote #1

Kurt [Cobain], from the moment he could hold a paintbrush in his hand, was painting. And from the moment he could hold a guitar, he was playing Picture Quote #1

To make music I rely on other people, which is good - that’s the main difference in painting and music at this stage. They are separate parts of my life really, like having two jobs, one in a bar, one in a lighthouse Picture Quote #1

Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn’t hurt your appreciation of the painting Picture Quote #1

Kenneth Hari is a true artist and in my opinion a psychic. When he is painting you, he feels your heart and soul Picture Quote #1

What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war Picture Quote #1
