Another favorite artist of mine is actually one that my wife and I both like. Claude Monet is a famous impressionist painter who was born in Paris, France (Nov. 14, 1840- Dec. 5, 1926) and is known for such masterpieces as, Sunset in Venice, Woman with a Parasol, and my personal favorite, Impression, Sunrise just to name a few. My wife's personal favorite portrait is, Waterlily Pond with the Japanese Bridge, 1899. She loves its vibrant colors and enjoys the sense of serenity it brings whenever she looks at it. I have to admit, I like it as well since I do have a koi pond which I enjoy everyday. I may not have the beautiful waterlilies as in Monet's painting, but my pond is a work in progress. People that influenced Claude Monet during his lifetime were Eugene Boudin, Johan Jonkind, and Gustave Courbet. And just as these men have inspired him, Monet's art work inspires me in my paintings everyday. My hope is to achieve what Monet has which is for people all over the worl
