Inspirational Art Quotes – Vincent Van Gogh

“Can I paint?” my youngest child asked. I pulled out the palette, placed the paper in front of him. The rest of the children joined in too. When he finished he said his painting was called ‘Tornado in Space.’ You can tell by looking at it the fun he had making swirls in different colors. We should all paint just for the sheer joy of it now and then. What joy, what freedom it brings! I’ve shared inspiration art quotes in hopes you’ll pull out the brushes, the pastels, the palette of colors too.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” ~Vincent Van Gogh

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    What a great quote! Van Gogh is one of my daughter’s very favorite artists. I will have to show her this one.

    Yes! What a brilliant quote. So true. Face the fears by proving them wrong.
    (By the way, the Doctor Who episode with Van Gogh is amazing!)
