Artist evaluation

Monet is, one of the Fathers of Impressionism, is an amazing artist. The three works below are some of his least known works, but some of his best, in my opinion. I love the short brushstrokes, and bright eye-popping colors. What makes the distinguishable from other impressionistic works, is his use of color. Monet is one of the impressionists who completely did away with black from his pallet. He also went out at different times a day,  so he could capture what his subject looked in certain lights, and certain seasons. That is one of the things he is most well-known for, painting one subject matter dozens of times . The differences between these three pictures are subtle, but noticeable, as with the colors of certain times a day. The first one was more than likely painted early in the morning, the second later in the afternoon, and the third midday. This shows Monets' love of painting at different times a day.
