Monet

Claude Monet 1840-1926, French impressionist. I have always loved the paintings from Monet. Here are a few of my favorites.  The first one with the parasol is his wife and child.  I never knew that tidbit. I always loved the water lilies.

"The Walk, Woman with a Parasol".

"Irises in Monet's Garden"

"Water-Lilies, Evening Effect"

"Green Reflexions- left panel"
