"I am working very hard, struggling with a series of different effects, but at this time of year the sun sets so fast that I cannot keep up with it."

"I am going to send you some more canvases, but I don't know what to do with them. They are all different and I don't know which one to choose."

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy, and torment."

"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."

"I'm so fed up with painting. I wish I had never started."
