hi res

Thanks, I'm baffled why the resolution drops when I post a link. There's no rhyme or reason. I'm using Connect for Lemme app

Monet is one of those artists whose work I don't think of much, but I always delight in stumbling across.

Maybe I'm just being contrarian, but I don't think the water or the beach are very good in this painting. The wheat, greenery, cliffs and clouds are great, but the water and beach are kind of monotonous blobs that frankly aren't that great in this painting.

If you take anything away from this post, let it be that Claude Monet had no idea how to paint water and I dare anyone to prove me wrong! That should be a reasonable idea to defend.

In fact it's giving me a headache. My grain

A lot of Monet is unfussy and messy compared to other impressionists. I do like SOME of his work but here I was looking for a piece we hadn't already seen and where the colours had been preserved well.
