"I'm still unable to work. I'm afraid I'll never be able to paint again."

"I want to paint the air in which the bridge, house or boat exists. The beauty of the air where they are. Yet it is nothing short of impossible."

"I am completely absorbed in my work, and I am not thinking of anything else."

"Aside from painting and gardening, I am good for nothing."

"Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It's enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it."
