More quotes by Eugène Boudin

I exhaust myself terribly to content the world, and never manage to content myself.

I dare not think of the sun-drenched beaches and the stormy skies, and of the joy of painting them in the sea breezes.

I shall do other things, but I will always be the painter of beaches.

I find my work increasingly more straining, in particular since I have been trying to finish my studies outside.

They [the holiday-visitors near Le Havre] love my little ladies [paintings] on the beach, and some people say that there's a thread of gold to exploit there.
