My favorite Impressionist, Frenchman Claude Monet is seen by many as the true father of impressionism.
I find the subtle texture of his work intrigueing, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
This painting of boats by a bridge is typical of Monet's work.
This may be a painting of Monet's wife and child.
This is one of Monet's better-known works.
He is also known for his waterlillies and haystack series of studies.
This painting, "Magpie", is not very well known, but I think the mood of winter in Europe is well captured here.
