From the National Gallery in London, these were my favorites by Monet.

The Gare St-Lazre


The Thames at Westminster
When I first saw this painting, I was struck by its subtle use of contrast, and how beautifully Monet captured a foggy morning. It wasn't until later, after I had been there, when I was looking at the postcards of these paintings, that I realized it was Big Ben and Parliament and the Westminster Bridge. Now I love it even more.
