'The best exhibition I have ever seen was The Hours at IMMA.'
'you will see lovely things at Claude Monet's and you will think what I
send very poor stuff in comparison. Just now I am dissatisfied with
myself and dissatisfied with
what I do, but I have just a glimmer of hope that I'm going to do better
in
the end'
