When I lived in the student dorms in Germany for a year, I had this on the wall in my very small room and have fond memories of gazing at it with bright sunlight beaming through my window, but unfortunately I didn't have the space to bring it home to the States, and I didn't know its name to be able to see it again. Tried to search for it before with no luck. But tonight I googled "dappled sunlight tree Monet", and it came up with this page.

The colors in the Water Lily Pond - Water Irises with the bridge are so vibrant. And the detail and colors of In the Woods at Giverny allows me to see it for real in my mind as if I had been there. My mom adored Monet's lesser known works like these paintings you chose! We took many trips to the Met much to my delight to view Monet and other Impressionists. I'll be back many times today to gaze at your museum!<br />AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571026839746911848.post-87579809951893754612009-08-13T09:56:06.722-04:002009-08-13T09:56:06.722-04:00i so love monet's meadow paintings ...

She has Monet prints hanging in almost every room of her house.<br /><br />I remember reading, once, that you can tell if his paintings were made earlier or later in his life by the colors he used. As he got older and his eyesight deteriorated, his color palette changed.Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260987219988824912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571026839746911848.post-59597684448357398482009-08-13T06:25:15.428-04:002009-08-13T06:25:15.428-04:00The scent of the gorgeous flowers, the sweet juice...The scent of the gorgeous flowers, the sweet juice of the melon-Thank your gracious tour this morning.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767701070804383829noreply@blogger.com
