A Quote by Winslow Homer

I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors. — © Winslow Homer
I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors.
I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors. The thing is done without your knowing it.
When an artist paints a picture he does not want you to consider his personality as represented in that picture - he wants you to look at the beauty of that picture. No one cares who has painted the picture as long as it is beautiful.
I doubt Picasso ever painted a picture in an hour, he took his time, looked at every detail and made sure it was perfect.
A face painted in a picture gives a pitiful parody of life. . . but a painted surface lives.
But I love to be outdoors. I prefer being outdoors to, you know, being inside.
Every picture's painted differently, every one has got a vision in their mind. That fills the heart with answers, and the missing piece that we hope to find.
Everybody faces a blank piece of paper, no matter what they've written or painted or composed before. I can't imagine approaching every single new project with-without doubt.
Expression, sentiment, truth to nature, are essential: but all those are not enough. I never care to look at a picture again, if it be ill composed; and if well composed I can hardly leave off looking at it.
When we founded Facebook, we put a lot of hours into it and worked hard every day. 'The Social Network' painted this picture that we were partying all the time, when really we only attended 2 or 3 parties during Facebook's first year.
I have composed several pieces which are performed outdoors, not only in the auditoria.
Give up on trying to be original. Every song has been sung, every picture has been painted, and every story has been told. The best one can do is sing, draw, or tell it again well.
I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw.
The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only.
One time a guy handed me a picture. He said, 'Here's a picture of me when I was younger.' Every picture is of you when you were younger. 'Here's a picture of me when I'm older.' 'You son of bit, how'd you pull that off Let me see that camera. What's it look like'
The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice.
Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
