A good impression is lost so quickly.

Claude Monet

I’m never finished with my paintings; the further I get, the more I seek the impossible and the more powerless I feel.
CLAUDE MONET

Feeling Impossible Myself Paint Power Seek
I didn’t become an impressionist. As long as I can remember I always have been one.
CLAUDE MONET

Impression Myself Oneself Remember
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.

My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
CLAUDE MONET

Alone Art Better Impression Myself Work
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

Absence Better Deal Determination Hard Work Myself Paint
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
CLAUDE MONET

Myself People Slow Speed Thinking
It is only too easy to catch people’s attention by doing something worse than anyone else has dared to do it before.
CLAUDE MONET

Attention Catch Dare Easy Myself People
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
CLAUDE MONET

Flower Garden Happiness Learning Myself Youth
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.
CLAUDE MONET

Appreciation Goodness Happiness Myself Praise Time
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
When I work I forget all the rest.
CLAUDE MONET

Forget Myself Paint Understand Work
Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value.
CLAUDE MONET

Art Deal Depression Interest Love Market Modesty Myself Price Value
Apart from painting and gardening, I’m not good at anything.
CLAUDE MONET

Garden Goodness Myself Paint
I’ve been working so hard that I’m exhausted… I feel I won’t be able to do without a few weeks’ rest, so I’m going off to see the sea.
CLAUDE MONET

Exhaustion Hard Work Myself Sea See
I’m not performing miracles, I’m using up and wasting a lot of paint.
CLAUDE MONET

I must have flowers, always, and always.
