E J Hughes Quotes

The small figures that appear in my paintings are there only because they were there when I was working from nature on my preliminary sketches with pencil Picture Quote #1

I don’t know just what, but there will have to be some drastic changes made besides cutting down on boating to get my mind more on painting Picture Quote #1

I felt landscapes would sell more readily, and not being equipped psychologically to be a teacher or commercial artist, that was important Picture Quote #1

I am hoping that, with the added wisdom of old age, I can still look ahead for an improvement in tone, line, colour and composition Picture Quote #1

Leonardo’s Mona Lisa sure would have lost out if he had spent only 2 of the 4 or 5 years he took to complete it. It is thinking about him and Ryder, among others, that partly makes me feel so awful to send away a ‘half-baked’ painting Picture Quote #1

I was doing something that the officials or art commission probably didn’t consider important... I was experimenting with different kinds of realistic art, impressionism and the more decorative compositions of different forms of painting, which took away from the earlier photographic realism that I was doing Picture Quote #1

I feel that when I am painting, it is a form of worship. I see how wonderful nature is and how wonderful art is... and by trying to produce these works of art, I feel that I am just showing my appreciation of these creations Picture Quote #1

Worry, about the ‘thousand and one’ details entailed. My one-track mind has to be relieved of these worries completely or I cannot get started working on my paintings, or even get to sleep at night Picture Quote #1

One of the main reasons I paint is because I think nature is so wonderful. I want to try to get my feelings of that down on canvas, if possible Picture Quote #1

My goal is to make all my paintings clear and realistic, even more understandable than a photograph Picture Quote #1

I am trying to get my paintings a bit lighter in tone, as some of my recent oils have been mistaken for night scenes Picture Quote #1

It is a matter mostly of having the time to spare from my finished paintings to put in on travelling and sketching out of doors Picture Quote #1

It feels much better to me to think that an artist is working to show his appreciation of what already has been created than creating things himself Picture Quote #1

It is definitely mostly due to the invention of the camera that all this design and emphasized paint quality have come into painting Picture Quote #1

When I see these primitive effects coming into my pictures subconsciously, even though the perspective may be slightly out, I leave them in if it helps the general composition Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately when I start to talk or when someone watches over my shoulders my pencil either stops or I draw meaningless lines Picture Quote #1

One of the things I like about our contract is that you have relieved me of a great deal of personal interviewing and corresponding, among other things, which allows me a lot more time for painting Picture Quote #1

The primitive style makes nature look like stage scenery Picture Quote #1

I hope my work isn’t dismissed by the critics as illustration or photography Picture Quote #1
