Here are some interesting quotes that inspire me. Enjoy!
"There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, – light, shade, and perpective will always make it beautiful." ~John Constable"Art is a passion or it is nothing". ~ Roger Fry
"Expression is not a matter of passion mirrored on the human face or revealed by a violent gesture. When I paint a picture, its every detail is expressive." ~ Henri Matisse
"Only bad painters enjoy painting." ~ Cecil Collins
"In painting, detail for the sake of itself is useless. It must have relevance to the whole." ~ Ken Danby
"Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do." ~ Edgar Degas
"The first virtue of a painting is that it be a feast for the eyes." ~ Eugene Delacroix
"As a painter we need to take a baby's approach – painting shapes, not things. Painting is putting correct shapes of color notes in the right places." Andries Veerman
