Painting Business Sayings

#1. The Hollywood left insists on painting business persons as arch criminals, even though it's ridiculous. They like to depict free enterprise, capitalism and business leaders as a source of evil and criminality. Somehow they think that will influence enough people to further their left-wing agenda.

James Cook

#2. My business is to paint what I see, not what I know is there.

J. M. W. Turner

#3. Jesus's central message was not primarily about how to get to heaven when you die, or about becoming a better person. The central message of Jesus was about the coming of God's kingdom.

Preston Sprinkle

#4. Every business, like a painting, operates according to its own rules. There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once.

Richard Branson

#5. Her narrow silhouette and the nuggets of antique silver on her wrists fascinate and perturb him. But the little girl?He'd show the princess the back of his hand and make her yelp.
The Inspector's shoes press angrily into the gravel path as he walks to his car.

Deborah Levy

#6. My skin is an art gallery right, with paintings and crucifixes hoping to save me from all the dangers in the music business

Nas

#7. Enrollment is not about getting somebody to do something that you want them to do. It's about offering them the chance to do something they might want to do (in this case, becoming part of your effort).

Leonard A. Schlesinger

#8. The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting. I think getting beyond the four edges of an opportunity or challenge is one of the basic skills you need in business.

Thomas Kinkade

#9. If I make a painting, it should be seen for what it's set out to do too. A lot of the things that I do, it's not all art. Some of it's design, some of it's illustration, some of it's graphics, some of it's concept, some of it's business and some of it, hopefully, is art.

Ken Done

#10. I began painting well before I started doing comedy. In fact, when I came out of the war in 1946, I enrolled in art school in Dayton, Ohio. I painted for three years, and then show business took hold.

Jonathan Winters

#11. Enlightenment is illusive and can only be received by those who ask for it and by those who are worthy to receive it. Only then will you be shown the path.

Robert Palasciano

#12. I get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.

Andy Warhol

#13. Painting seems an old man's business. After a certain time you're out of it, and you just paint masterpieces.

Alex Katz

#14. What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.

Robert Henri

#15. Intuition is the key to everything, in painting, filmmaking, business - everything. I think you could have an intellectual ability, but if you can sharpen your intuition, which they say is emotion and intellect joining together, then a knowingness occurs.

David Lynch

#16. Basic research is like shooting an arrow in the air and, where it lands, painting a target.

Homer Burton Adkins

#17. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. It's probably nothing. But I've had "nothing" for too long, and I'm ready for something. Anything.

Beth Revis

#18. (Mavis led Lorelei over to a shaded spot on the deck where a large pile of shirts, pants, and socks waited. From where she stood, it was a daunting task.)
How long have you been working on that? Just since the dawn of time, or eternally? (Lorelei)

Kinley MacGregor

#19. The daringly explicit absurdity of the evolutionary process - its unstoppable, messy, painful, indifferent knocking on random doors - is, arguably, precisely how a malevolent architect devoted to maintaining His anonymity would go about His business, painting Creation with impenetrable naturalism.

John Zande

#20. There isn't an amount of money you could offer me to do reality TV. I would rather get my job back on the building site. Or I could own a construction business. Maybe I could retire to my house in Long Island and take up painting, like Captain Beefheart. A crazy recluse: I like that idea.

Dave Gahan

#21. How many you or I have outlasted doesn't matter, I think. There comes a time when the will just runs out. Doesn't matter what I think, see?

Richard Bachman

#22. None could be strong if we did not go through countless wrong.

Rizi Dame C. Briz

#23. What do artists do? Artists give people something they didn't know they were missing: a dance, a piece of music, a painting, a piece of sculpture. Catering to that need is the best business strategy.

Daniel H. Pink

#24. Painting is a strange business.

J. M. W. Turner

#25. I am constantly amazed at how little painters know about painting, writers about writing, merchants about business, manufacturers about manufacturing. Most men just drift.

Sherwood Anderson

#26. I don't advise any one to take it [painting] up as a business proposition, unless they really have talent ... But I will say that I have did remarkable for one of my years, and experience.

Grandma Moses

#27. Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.

Herbert Simon

#28. I was the youngest of four kids, and Dad, who had a garden centre before he retired, came from a large Lancashire family. Every one of my uncles had their own business, including a post office, two fish and chip shops and a painting and decorating business.

Rick Astley

#29. I wanted to have a global company, so I chose a global name. Alibaba is easy to spell, and people everywhere associate that with "Open, Sesame," the command that Ali Baba used to open doors to hidden treasures in One Thousand and One Nights.

Jack Ma

#30. It's important to realize that the images are everywhere, not just where you want or expect them to be.
