Impressionist Painter
Wouldn't you just love to visit Claude Monet's Giverny and stay there forever? Who can blame him for painting the water lilies and dear little bridge that rest there? I have two little children's books describing a visit there by two different little girls. I confess, I feel like a little girl when I think about Giverey and its delicate world.
Claude Monet painted Giverny even while going blind, I would assume it was because its image had already burned inside his heart. Impressionistic painting lends to painting from ones emotions no?

Monet Quotes
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.~~
Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.
~~
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.
~~
I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
~~

My life has been nothing but a failure.

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
~~
People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love.

Water Lilies
Look at the image below, it is part of a series of paintings of Water lilies, which Impressionist painter Claude Monet created from his garden in Giverny. He would paint at different times of the day to capture the unique natural lighting effects, which are so very prevalent in the South of France.
