If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
Image
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet
Image
The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.
Claude Monet
Image
Paint what you really see, not what you think you ought to see not the object isolated as in a test tube, but the object enveloped in sunlight and atmosphere, with the blue dome of Heaven reflected in the shadows.
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
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
Claude Monet
Image
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
Image
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image
Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It's wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.
Claude Monet
Image
You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most.
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
What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.
Claude Monet
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 still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.
Claude Monet
Image
It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.
Claude Monet
Image
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
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
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.
Claude Monet
Image
It is difficult to stop in time because one gets carried away. But I have that strength it is the only strength I have.

Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
