I noticed you picked "Poppies" to show us. This is one of Monets'earliest works(1873?). Right near the beginning of his impressionist work.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I like Monet. This one here is:

“The Stroll, Camille Monet and Her Son Jean (Woman with a Parasol)" 1875 Oil on canvas, by Monet.

“This masterpiece epitomizes the Impressionist concept of 'the glance.' It triumphs wonderfully in conveying the sensation of a snapshot in time, a stroll on a beautiful sunny day.”

[JustAmy]

This painting always catches my eye. I'm not sure why. Maybe it is the way the red poppies stand out from the rest of the peaceful scene.

[international american]

It's a good one.

[JustAmy]

Here is another that I like ...



It reminds me of a weekend of peace and relaxation.

[international american]

Excellent example....forgot the name:-)

[JustAmy]

I'm trying to repost this painting. I could not get it to load.



It is lovely.

[JustAmy]

I can research it for more info but this is the title that accompanies the painting.

Garden at Sainte-Adresse,1867 .... Metropolitan Museum of Art

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yes, there are some gorgeous paintings by Monet. Thanks Amy.

[international american]

That is it. Monet is my favorite impressionist painter.

Hi Victoria! It looks like we keep missing each other. LOL!

[JustAmy]

I've never given much thought to a favorite impressionist painter, but I find that I'm always drawn to paintings by Monet.

There is something there that catches my attention.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks, Amy! I like the tulips. :-) I hope you have a wonderful week, too.

[international american]

I agree.

[JustAmy]

Which is your favorite Monet?

[JustAmy]

Happy Monet Day!
