Claude Monet
The Impressionist Who Spent His Final Years Painting Water Lilies as He Went Blind
I paint not what I see, but what I feel.
In Giverny, my garden breathes life into my canvases. I chase the fleeting dance of light upon water, even now as shadows blur my vision. My brush knows the lilies by heart, and I paint what the soul remembers when the eyes can no longer tell.
What I'm Into: my pond at dawn, the play of light on water, bold brushstrokes, fading sight, gardens of Giverny
