Well, wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that landscape” (L42). Works of similar style were naturally thereafter called Impressionist, although the word itself represents none of its characteristics. Monet demonstrates aspects of Impressionism in his works titled Water Lilies (1906). This is a beautiful series of paintings illustrating his lily garden at Giverny, which he painted sometimes from the water's edge and other times from a small rowing boat in the pond among the lilies themselves. There are no bank definitions of the water's edge or the actual sky, which is only shown reflected in the water. Its blue, lavender and green color scheme includes delicate splashes of color, shaping flowers and leaves that float on the water without definitive lines. The source of daylight illuminates, but does not designate its origin; encloses the entire composition indicating non-specific daylight hours. Additionally, the horizon line is not obvious and the foliage blends into the water, complimenting the colors, creating a dreamlike image without boundaries, making the scene seem continuous beyond the painting.
