My favorite quotes:

"Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul."

Vincent van Gogh

" Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun. "

Pablo Picasso

" There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted. "

Henri Matisse

"The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things."

Leonardo da Vinci

" Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter. "

Paul Klee
