This is the painting “ Women in the garden , it was painted in 1866 and it is in the Orsay Museum. Here Monet explorated the women clothes and the light.

Bathing at La Grenouillere was painted in 1869 Bathing at La Grenouillere was painted in 1869. The main theme of the paintings is the bathers in the River Sena. This work shows the popular style in boat tours and bathings in the rivers.

What a beautiful paintings! These are all about Nature!

Look at this! It is a painting of his house, where there were many gardens.

And this one!

This is perhaps called “ Shadow of the woman in the rain” because there is a lady with an umbrella and there is also her shadow.

Who is this lady. Perhaps she is a painter Who is this lady? Perhaps she is a painter. Have you seen that she is doing a portrait of the other lady? She looks like pregnant, or fat! She has something in her hand! Is she sewing? No. It´s her dress. She is reading a book. It looks the same woman who was in the previous painting and now she came here to paint.
