It Is Only Too Easy To Catch

The Richness I Achieve Comes From Nature, The Source Of My Inspiration.

I Do Have A Dream, A Tableau Of The Bathing Place Of La Grenouillère, For Which I've Done Some Bad Pochades (sketches), But It Is A Dream. Renoir, Who Have Just Spent A Couple Of Months Here, Also Wants To Paint This Subject.

I'm Working Hard With More Determination Than Ever. My Success At The Salon Led To My Selling Several Paintings And Since Your Absence I Have Made 800 Francs; I Hope, When I Have Contracts With More Dealers, It Will Be Better Still.

Color Is My Day-long Obsession, Joy And Torment.

It Is Better To Have Done Something Than To Have Been Someone.
