Monet

Ever since I was a little girl I have been drawn to Claude Monet’s paintings I can't remember when I first started liking him but I remember it was a love at first sight kind of thing but with art. I don't know if it's messy brush strokes or just the way he paints nature in its simplest form.
Monet did the Water Lily pond in every season, different angles and altered colors. With each one he made unique and almost a different place.  The way the trees hang low, the water lilies float and the bridge arches illustrates a tranquil place where you can sit outside all day and read a book.  Monet depicts this beautiful place where you would see people taking walks or first loves sharing a kiss. It’s a place that once you see it you always remember it and wish you could go back.
