My heart is forever in Giverny.
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
The real subject of every painting is light.
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
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.
