Painting the Town

2008.05.20
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Henry Ward Beecher

The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.

~André Malraux

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.

~Paul Strand

Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.

~Isaac Bashevis Singer

What's happening here?

Perhaps they all take the same class
Perhaps they resonated to the warm weather or spring's scent
Perhaps they love creating art

"May I take your photo?"
"Shall I pose?"
"No, just paint."



I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.

Henri Matisse

oldbabe I like that the first guy added an old car to his painting. I wish I could paint more than a living room wall.
