I never draw except with brush and paint.

Claude Monet

I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It’s true that fretting never did any good.

My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece

Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It’s wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.
CLAUDE MONET

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

Garden Goodness Myself Paint
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

I’m enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this.
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.

Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.

Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work… too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with.
CLAUDE MONET

I must have flowers, always, and always.

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.

One can do something if one can see and understand it.
CLAUDE MONET

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.
