Glycines

One of my favorite paintings by Monet (although I adore most of his work) is entitled "Glycines". It was painted by Monsieur Claude Monet in 1918.

Would you like to read a quote from Monet? Well, it really doesn't matter if you want to or not, because I'm posting it regardless.

"Le nuage qui passe, la brise qui fraîchit, le grain qui menace et qui tombe, le vent qui souffle et s'abat brusquement, la lumière qui décroît et qui renaît, autant de causes, insaisissables pour l'oeil des profanes, qui transforment la teinte et défigurent les plans d'eau." - Monet

Translation: The passing cloud, the cooling breeze, the sudden storm that threatens to burst and finally does, the wind that stirs and suddenly blows with full force, the light that fades and is reborn are all things, elusive to the eyes of the uninitiated, that transfigure the color and shape of the bodies of water.
