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.

All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.

For almost two months now I've been struggling away with no result.

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.

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.

I work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.
