I have always enjoyed Monet's work -- most of it anyway. I find his hay stacks and some of his water lilies boring.

He was considered radical at the time.

But, to me, it is his colors and that his paintings make me feel as much as see. As he lost his sight his colors became more washed out. It is the earlier, more vibrant work I most enjoy. I have a poster from an exhibit at the Art Institute in my bathroom. One of his garden paintings. It makes me feel what it was to be in that garden.
