While browsing the Getty museum today I saw hundreds of paintings, but was drawn to two in particular. 

Upon closer examination, they were both by Monet. 

Something about the colors and style stood out from across the room. The use of paint creates a physicality that makes the scenes feel real.

One of my favorite Monet experiences is viewing multiple versions of the Rouen Cathedral hanging together on the same wall. Same subject but completely different lighting. Part of why the 4th floor of Musee d’Orsay is a pilgrimage every trip to Paris.
