Water Lily Pond -
Claude Monet Oil Painting


In 1893, Monet's genius inspired the creation of the famous Water Lily pond at his home in Giverny, outside of Paris. Unique in that it was created entirely to the artist's own design, the fragile beauty of the pool became the painter's foremost subject during the last twenty years of his life. Monet remains the most loved of the Impressionists, and the style itself takes its name from one of his early paintings.

    Tips for Choosing Art Work for Your Home

    When shopping for art for your living room, here are a few things to keep in mind before you buy an original painting, artist reproduction or a framed art print.

    Choose an artwork piece that compliments the color scheme and mood of your rooms current decor.

    If you room has a theme (i.e. modern, shabby chic, country or sophisticated) make sure the art print's theme and design you pick supports the same theme as you room.

    With any artwork from expensive original artwork to an inexpensive art print, framing is an important step to have the art be appreciated and make a statement. Poorly framed art tends to look cheap and neglected no matter how much you spent.

    And lastly, make sure your art pieces do not come into contact with direct sunlight without UV protective glass to protect the colors in your artwork from fading over time.
