If One Hasn't A Horse,

Painting Is A Faith, And It Imposes The Duty To Disregard Public Opinion.

I Was Certainly Going The Right Way For A Stroke When I Left Paris. I Paid For It Nicely Afterwards! When I Stopped Drinking, When I Stopped Smoking So Much, When I Began To Think Again Instead Of Trying Not To Think - Good Lord, The Depression And The Prostration Of It! Work In These Magnificent Natural Surroundings (arles) Has Restored My Morale, But Even Now Some Efforts Are Too Much For Me: My Strength Fails Me.

I Always Dream A Painting Like That, With A Group Of Lively Figures Of The Pals.

Love Always Brings Difficulties, That Is True, But The Good Side Of It Is That It Gives Energy.

I Am Working With The Enthusiasm Of A Man From Marseilles Eating Bouillabaisse, Which Shouldn't Come As A Surprise To You Because I Am Busy Painting Huge Sunflowers.
