I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.

Image
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
Claude Monet
Image
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
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
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
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
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
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
Image
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
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
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.
Claude Monet
Image
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
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
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
I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.
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
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 am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste.
Claude Monet
Image
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm quite content: although what I'm doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same.
