I never draw except with brush and paint.

Claude Monet

I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house and the boat are to be found – the beauty of the air around them, and that is nothing less than the impossible.
CLAUDE MONET

Beautiful Bridge Home Impossible Myself Paint
One’s better off alone, and yet there are so many things that are impossible to fathom on one’s own. In fact it’s a terrible business and the task is a hard one.
CLAUDE MONET

Alone Better Business Hard Impossible Oneself

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.

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!

I’m knocked out, I’ve never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I’m quite stupid with it and long only for bed; but I am happy.

When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can’t think any more.

It’s the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one’s done.

I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
CLAUDE MONET

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’ve said it before and can only repeat that I owe everything to Boudin and I attribute my success to him. I came to be fascinated by his studies, the products of what I call instantaneity.
