Water Lilies

This painting reminds me of my first time in Paris.  We visited Giverney, Monet's home.  You feel as if you are back in time with him.  I've included my photograph of the water lilies.  To think that he was suffering from severe cataracts at the time he painted this is truly astounding. 

Water Lilies (or Nymphéas, French: [nɛ̃.fe.a]) is a series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926). The paintings depict his flower garden at his home in Giverny, and were the main focus of his artistic production during the last thirty years of his life. Many of the works were painted while Monet suffered from cataracts
