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

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

Ambience Atmosphere Crazy Drive Enough
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 look at nature I feel as if I’ll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you’re working.
CLAUDE MONET

Feeling Forget Nature Oneself Paint
Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than [John Singer] Sargent thinks.
CLAUDE MONET

Greatness Impression Paint Question Simplicity Thinking
If only the weather would improve, there’d be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
CLAUDE MONET

Hope Improvement Rain Work
Lots of people will protest that it’s quite unreal and that I’m out of my mind, but that’s just too bad.
CLAUDE MONET

Bad Mindset Myself People Reality
My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws.
CLAUDE MONET

The only merit I have is to have painted directly from nature with the aim of conveying my impressions in front of the most fugitive effects.
CLAUDE MONET

Direct Effect Impression Nature Paint
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
I say that whoever claims to have finished a canvas is terribly arrogant.
CLAUDE MONET

Finish Myself Terrible
I’ve only myself to blame for it, my impotence most of all and my weakness. If I do any good work now it will be only by chance.
CLAUDE MONET

Blame Chance Goodness Impotent Myself Weakness Work
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
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
CLAUDE MONET

Artist Bird Myself Paint Sing Way
I never draw except with brush and paint.
