Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.Ambrose Bierce
I cannot remember a time when I was not interested in both gardening and painting. I must have been born with a trowel in one hand and a paintbrush in the other.Emma Tennant
Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.Chuck Close
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.Hedy Lamarr
I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.Jackson Pollock
