It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
I have once more taken up things that can't be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I'm always tackling that sort of thing!
The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.
I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism; that's enough.
It is better to have done something than to have been someone.
