I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

It is better to have done something than to have been someone.

Now I really feel the landscape, I can be bold and include every tone of pink and blue: it's enchanting, it's delicious, and I hope it will please you.

It is only too easy to catch people's attention by doing something worse than anyone else has dared to do it before.

I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.

Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
