Karl,

HA! You’ve got it, although I wonder about the sequence — you become a good painter so you can say anything and sound good? Or you can anything and sound good if you are a good painter?

Reading more from the first quote

A hill or a tree cannot make a good painting just because it is a hill or a tree. It is lines and colors put together so that they say something.
