I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
Claude Monet

I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
Claude Monet
Image
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.

The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.

I am enslaved to my work, always wanting the impossible, and never, I believe, have I been less favoured by the endlessly changeable weather.

Claude Monet
Image

Claude Monet
Image
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet
Image
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
Image
One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.
Claude Monet
Image
One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.
Claude Monet
Image
One day I am satisfied, the next day I find it all bad still I hope that some day I will find some of them good.
Claude Monet
Image
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
Claude Monet
Image
I've spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please nothing satisfies me.
