I’m in a foul mood as I’m making stupid mistakes… This morning I lost beyond repair a painting with which I had been happy, having done about twenty sessions on it; it had to be thoroughly scraped away… what a rage I was in!

Claude Monet

It’s enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
CLAUDE MONET

Ambience Atmosphere Crazy Drive Enough
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

CLAUDE MONET

Bold Delicious Enchanting Feeling Hope Nature Yourself

Apart from painting and gardening, I’m not good at anything.
CLAUDE MONET

Garden Goodness Myself Paint
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

Character Convey Effect Himself Impression Sincere
Thanks to my work everything’s going well; it’s a great consolation.
CLAUDE MONET

Greatness Myself Thankful
Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.
CLAUDE MONET

Art Discussion Love Myself Pretend Understand
When I work I forget all the rest.
CLAUDE MONET

Forget Myself Paint Understand Work
