We never escape our own lives enough, to see with divine vision what is objectively there.
Raphael
We live in a rainbow of chaos.
Paul Cezanne
I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it.
Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
Vincent van Gogh
Leonardo da Vinci was like a man who awoke too early
in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep.
Sigmund Freud
Digital art is a means by which an artist can crystallize a vision and cross the boundaries of space and time.
Ray Maloney
When I've painted a woman's bottom so that
I want to touch it, then the painting is finished.
The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself and carry you away.
It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion.
It is the current which he puts forth which sweeps you along in his passion.
Pierre Auguste Renoir
The burdens of a woman are more than the average man could ever endure.
Honore Daumier
The world is but a canvas to the imagination.
Henry David Thoreau
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements
of tone, of color and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under
the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.
Georges Seurat
My painting is visible images which conceal nothing;
they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one
of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question ...
'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything,
because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
Rene Margritte
Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination that swirls in the depths of the mind.
Robert Toth
The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in
him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.
T. S. Eliot
I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Albert Einstein
Claude Monet was the leader of a group of
French artists called the "Impressionists".
Monet's 1874 painting, 'Impression, Sunrise' gave the Impressionist movement its name.
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Color is the keyboard,
the eyes are the harmonies,
the soul is the piano with many strings.
The artist is the hand that plays,
touching one key or another,
to cause vibrations in the soul.
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head
before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand,
as if it were necessary to understand,
when it is simply necessary to love.
I perhaps owe, having become a painter, to flowers.
Claude Monet 
Love is when the desire to be desired takes
you so badly that you feel you could die of it.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
