  Monet's serial painting of the Rouen cathedral,
  the poplars, etc., are my favorites. It's a wonderful
  experience when you get to see a group of 5 
  or more together in a gallery rooom. Alex, I'm sure knows, 
  that the impressionist & post-impressionists, in their
  time, were roundly disparaged as 'barbarous
  artists'. We see the technique imitated now,
  and it seems conventional practice. As what weekend 
  painters and yourg art students do derivatively.

  One of things that endeared me to Monet was that
  he had a 'studio boat' built. A boat where he could push off
  from the banks of the river, drift along, doing his paintings,
  assured he wouldn't be interrupted by neighbors or
  other artists..

  Perhaps, my eyes have gone bad.
