I felt like adding a little more colour to the page, so I thought I'd do a post with some Monet paintings. I went to see some of his paintings back when they came to Sydney for the "Monet and the Impressionists" exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. My favourite things about his art are his use of colour and light. The whole Impressionist art movement was concerned with captured an 'impression' of a moment and with the use of light. That's why there are evident brush strokes and a blurred look about the Impressionist paintings - the idea was not to replicate every tiny detail.
