Lovely Water Lilies

image from Metropolitan Museum of Art

Oscar-Claude Monet painted this lovely picture of water lilies. He began painting pictures of water lilies in 1899 and painted more than 200 water lily pictures. 
 
Monet had a beautiful garden, and he painted many pictures of the flowers and plants there.  He also had a pond full of lily pads.  The job of one of Monet's gardeners was to paddle a boat onto the pond every morning to wash and dust each lily pad. 
 Monet loved the way the sunlight played on the water and the lily pads.


Here are more Monet paintings accompanied by peaceful music:
