It is one of the greatest paintings depict Monet's flower garden at Giverni and were the main focus of Monet's artistic production during the last thirty years of his life. It was painted while Monet suffered from cataracts.
To my mind, this painting is absolutely perfect piece of art. I like the way the artist mix colors and make brushstrokes. The different shades of yellow, orange, red, and violet are very appealing. I find it absolutely pleasant for human's eye. When I look at this picture I feel some strange feelings: I can't explain what exactely beautiful in it, because I like it in general and each brushstroke. The subject is so simple - it's just lilies, but Monet succeded to convain a special beauty of it. This painting make me calm. I like it very much from my early childhood.
