Paint Quotes
-
One arranges flowers as the spirit moves you; to obey some inner prompting to put this colour with that, to have brilliance here, line there, a sense of opulence in this place or sparseness in that; to suit your surroundings, your mood, the weather, the occasion. In a word, to do as you please, just as, if you could, you might paint a picture.
Constance Spry

William S. Burroughs
-

I see more and more that my work goes infinitely better when I am properly fed, and the paints are there, and the studio and all that...

Vincent Van Gogh
