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.

More quotes by Claude Monet

Image
The creditors are proving impossible to deal with and short of a sudden appearance on the scene of wealthy art patrons, we are going to be turned out of this dear little house where I led a simple life and was able to work so well. I do not know what will become of us.
Claude Monet
Image
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
Image
My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
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
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
Image
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
Claude Monet
Image
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
Image
When I look at nature I feel as if I'll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you're working.
Claude Monet
Image
It seems to me that when I see nature I see it ready-made, completely written - but then, try to do it!
Claude Monet
Image
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
Claude Monet
Image
It goes without saying that I will do anything at any price to pull myself out of a situation like this [rejection] so that I can start work immediately on my next Salon picture and ensure that such a thing should not happen again.
Claude Monet
Image
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm getting so slow at my work it makes me despair, but... I'm increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience, and I'm praying that I'll have a few more good years left to me.
Claude Monet
Image
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
Image
No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others.
Claude Monet
Image
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.
