Heart List: Claude Monet


I love the paintings of Claude Monet. It’s like dreaming on canvas, if that makes sense. I’ll be the first to admit that I know precious little about art, but there’s something about the Impressionists that have always caught my attention. I like that the lines are not quite defined and that the colors are a sort of organized chaos. I’d much rather look at something with a touch of whimsy than something too realistic. Even the name is appealing to me: impressionism. It’s not what the thing is, it’s our impression of it. Well, like I said, I know nothing about art. What I do know is that I heart Monet.

  1. Dreaming on canvas is an excellent description! I heart many impressionists, too.
