To the Apaches he is a skinny ghost, a half-breed born into a living purgatory, where all sides hate him.
I sure love him, though.

First Impressions
One of the best of the Impressionists was this guy.
Claude Monet, 1886
He was a master of color, plus, the dude wore great hats.
Claude Monet wore great hats
but he sure could beat himself up.
"Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep. I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture. I’m never finished with my paintings; the further I get, the more I seek the impossible and the more powerless I feel. No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others. I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics. My life has been nothing but a failure."
—Claude Monet
