I don't say everything, but I paint everything.
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
Art is long. Life is short. A picture can become for us a highway between a particular thing and a universal feeling.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.
When you start a painting, it is somewhat outside you. At the conclusion, you seem to move inside the painting.
I sit for two or three hours and then in 15 minutes I can do a painting, but that's part of it. You have to get ready and decide to jump up and do it; you build yourself up psychologically, and so painting has no time for brush. Brush is boring, you give it and all of a sudden it's dry, you have to go. Before you cut the thought, you know?
You know when you take the paint off an old canvas and you discover that something's been painted underneath it? That's what I feel like - that part of the old is coming through the new.
I would say - and paint doesn't peel unless it's acrylic paint, so maybe it is acrylic paint that they're using, not oil paint. So let me say yes, it would be acrylic house paint, which, when it dries, peels very nicely. So let's go with that.
A great artist can paint a great picture on a small canvas.
Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don't care what you'll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Just as a picture is created by adding a dab of paint at a time, the best arrangements are created a step at a time, with pauses so you can step back and see the overall effect.
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.
I do the same thing everyday. I go to work and paint. I try to turn out as many pictures as I can.
In a way records are like paintings. Instead of using paints and brushes we use sounds and instruments.

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilized.
Love seems to beautify and inspire all nature. It raises the earthly caterpillar into the ethereal butterfly, it paints the feathers in spring, it lights the glowworm's lamp, it wakens the song of birds, and inspires the poet's lay. Even inanimate Nature seems to feel the spell, and flowers glow with the richest colours.
When one paints an ideal, one does not need to limit one's imagination.
