John Constable Thinking Quotations

Only think that I am now writing in a room full of Claudes... almost of the summit of my earthly ambitions.

I have added some ploughmen to the landscape form the park pales which is a great help, but I must try and warm the picture a little more if I can... but I look to do a great deal better in future. I am determined to finish a small picture in the spot for every one I intend to make in future. But this I have always talked about but never yet done - I think however my mind is more settled and determined than ever on this point.

Connoisseurs think the art is already done.
