Right down the road from me there is a little pond, covered in lily pads. Sometimes it takes my breath away. I took this photo of it one day, and was just amazed by all the colors and reflections in the water. No wonder Monet liked to paint them.
The photo drew me in, and I wanted to try to recreate it!
In Honor of Monet...definitely made me appreciate him more!
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
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.
-painting in Bordighera, Italy...
I haven't yet managed to capture the colour of this landscape; there are moments when I'm appalled at the colours I'm having to use, I'm afraid what I'm doing is just dreadful and yet I really am understating it; the light is simply terrifying.
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
One's better off alone, and yet there are so many things that are impossible to fathom on one's own. In fact it's a terrible business and the task is a hard one. (Claude Monet)
