A painting is a secondary source. A painting may be done years after the event has happened.

For example, the painting of Betsy Ross showing the American flag she made to George Washington is in many textbooks. The painting was made by an artist commissioned by a member of Betsy Ross' family. There is no proof that Betsy Ross actually made this flag.

Is a picture off Google pictures a primary or secondary source?

It depends what the picture is. If it's a picture of a painting in which the artist was there when whatever it was happened (example: a painting of the Battle of Yorktown in which the artist was there) it would be a primary source. If it was a picture where the person wasn't there (example: someone dressed up as George Washington) it would be a secondary source.
