“When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape.”
― Claude Monet

“…Every day I discover even more beautiful things. It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all - my head is bursting…”
