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

I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
Claude Monet

Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
Image
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
