Definition of Painting

Pain
Pain
  PAINTING   noun
The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
  Formerly, painting and sculpture were combined in the same work: the ancients painted their statues.  The only present alliance between the two arts is that the modern painter chisels his patrons.
