My Life Has Been Nothing But A

Ninety Per Cent Of The Theory Of Impressionist Painting Is In . . . Ruskin's Elements.

I'm Not Performing Miracles, I'm Using Up And Wasting A Lot Of Paint.

I'm In A Foul Mood As I'm Making Stupid Mistakes... This Morning I Lost Beyond Repair A Painting With Which I Had Been Happy, Having Done About Twenty Sessions On It; It Had To Be Thoroughly Scraped Away... What A Rage I Was In!

My Work Is Always Better When I Am Alone And Follow My Own Impressions.

Never, Even As A Child, Would I Bend To A Rule.
