Zaandam Has Enough To Paint

I'm In Fine Fettle And Fired With A Desire To Paint.

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.

I Had So Much Fire In Me And So Many Plans.

I Haven't Yet Managed To Capture The Colour Of This Landscape; There Are Moments When I'm Appalled At The Colours I'm Having To Use, I'm Afraid What I'm Doing Is Just Dreadful And Yet I Really Am Understating It; The Light Is Simply Terrifying.

I Didn't Become An Impressionist. As Long As I Can Remember I Always Have Been One.
