Water Lillies

Same excuse. Painting. So here is one more photograph from my trip with Liz to MoMA. There was a room with a small number of Monet's "Water Lillies" series of paintings. A small number, but huge paintings. You can how large this is based on the scale of the people. It was a wonderful experience, standing in front of this image. The longer you looked, the more you saw. It was a bit difficult because there were so many people looking at the exhibit. Some people stood quietly looking, others walked back and forth, and others photographed it. So I did too, but I was photographing the people, rather than the painting. It is important to remember that experiencing the painting in person is more important than photographing it, to look at later. It is not the same thing.
