You do not mention the red poppies, which are the important ones as I already have irises, chrysanthemums, peonies and morning glories.

More from Claude Monet
"I am working very hard, struggling with a series of different effects, but at this time of year the sun sets so fast that I cannot keep up with it."
"I'm so fed up with painting. I wish I had never started."
"Aside from painting and gardening, I am good for nothing."
"More than ever despite my poor sight, I need to paint and paint unceasingly."
"When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever."
About Claude Monet (1840-1926)
French Impressionist painter whose Impression, Sunrise (1872) named the movement, and whose late Water Lilies series anticipated 20th-century abstraction. Closely associated with Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Impressionist co-founder) and Camille Pissarro (Impressionist mentor figure). For an intellectual contrast, see the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the Salon, the French art establishment of the 1860s-70s — The Académie rejected Monet and the Impressionists throughout the 1860s-70s, forcing them to organize the 1874 Salon des Refusés that became Impressionism's launch. Monet's career is the canonical example of an artistic revolution that bypassed institutional gatekeeping — the Académie's rejection inadvertently created modernism.
