The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.

Claude Monet

While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
CLAUDE MONET

Add Finish Hard Work Oneself Paint Touch
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
CLAUDE MONET

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

I must have flowers, always, and always.
CLAUDE MONET

Flower Myself
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

Better Hard Myself Public Satisfaction Trouble True
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.

I haven’t many years left ahead of me and I must devote all my time to painting, in the hope of achieving something worthwhile in the end, something if possible that will satisfy me.

CLAUDE MONET

CLAUDE MONET

Art Discussion Love Myself Pretend Understand
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

Techniques vary, art stays the same; it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
CLAUDE MONET

Art Force Nature Sensitive Stay Technique
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
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
CLAUDE MONET

Discover Listening Myself
Everything changes, even stone.
