Painting is easy when you don't know how, but
very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to
remain an artist once he grows up. ~Pablo Picasso
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed
and unchangeable color to every object; beware
of this stumbling block. ~Paul Gauguin
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A
beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in
the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating
down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight.
Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta
and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little
funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
Art is either plagiarism or revolution. -Paul Gauguin
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep
them company to the end of the day. -Winston Churchill
