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

Claude Monet
Image

Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
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.
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 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 let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.
