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.

Image
The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.
Claude Monet
Image
I have once more taken up things that can't be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I'm always tackling that sort of thing!
Claude Monet
Image
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
Claude Monet
Image
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
Image
You might perhaps like to see the few canvases I was able to save from the bailiffs and the rest, since I thought you might be so good as to help me a little, as I am in quite a desperate state, and the worst is that I can no longer even work.
Claude Monet
Image
I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.

Image
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
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
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
I must have flowers, always, and always.
Claude Monet
Image
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
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
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
Claude Monet
Image
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
Claude Monet
Image
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
Claude Monet
Image
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
Claude Monet
Image
I see less and less... I need to avoid lateral light, which darkens my colors. Nevertheless, I always paint at the times of day most propitious for me, as long as my paint tubes and brushes are not mixed up... I will paint almost blind, as Beethoven composed completely deaf.

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

I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.
