I am inspired by Claude Monet on so many levels. First as a gardener I appreciate the beauty of his painting of his gardens at Giverny. As some one enrapture by nature then his work to capture the light during different times of the day, especially early morning and evening, to show how that light changes how we see those images. Spiritually he wanted to awaken people through his work by showing the profound beauty of nature. I have included a couple of the beautiful paintings here and offer you a link to Google pictures where you can browse at your leisure.

Hi Nick,

Monet is great! I'm really a big fan of nature scenes, and he made waterlilies look different each time he painted them. He really captured the different hues of outdoor greenery, probably painted at different times of day in differing amounts of sunlight & shade.

Hi Kathleen,
Great to hear form you. Monet did paint an all different times of the day. He loved the light there. The light inspired him to share the beauty he saw through his eyes.

Nick,
I'm so lucky being so near to London, England.
I visited some of the great galleries and had the joy of viewing some Monets' first-hand.
The joy of standing in a room surrounded these by huge Monet paintings is indescribable.
The wonderful blues and greens are amazing.
I agree with everything that you say.

Monet has inspired me many times and as a professional gardener his colour schemes are often in my head.

Nick, thank you for this!!! We need more art presentations and I can post here! I have always admired Claude Monet for doing it his way and coming up with so much beauty.
