The effect of sincerity is to give one’s work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else.

Claude Monet

I work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.
CLAUDE MONET

Now I really feel the landscape, I can be bold and include every tone of pink and blue: it’s enchanting, it’s delicious, and I hope it will please you.
CLAUDE MONET

I’m working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs; I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.
CLAUDE MONET

I still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.

Nature won’t be summoned to order and won’t be kept waiting. It must be caught, well caught.

I didn’t become an impressionist. As long as I can remember I always have been one.

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
CLAUDE MONET

I’ve done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don’t want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism; that’s enough.
CLAUDE MONET

Enough Myself Paint Painting Sufficient
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
CLAUDE MONET
