Monet, almost totally blind during his late years, stayed close to home and painted a variety of flower beds, footpaths, willows, wisteria, and nymphaea from his garden. Rusl's comment on Monet: I am not all that impressed with impressionalism style paintings - the use of and interactions of color being interesting as a study of application lack clear definition of the subject; granted a painting is not a "photograph" of a subject, my preference is for a painting that more clearly represents the subject and does not leave so much to the imagination. I reckon the paintings are pretty good for someone almost blind, many of the paintings are paintings in a series of paintings of the same subject, e.g., the Japanese foot bridge paintings, and it seems to me that after completing a painting and looking it over perhaps it looked pretty close through his cataracs to what he intended, perhaps not, perhaps he thought to himself "no, this is not it... do it over..." (or, "... do it over again")...
