Autumn on the Siene, Argenteuil

I am writing my visual analysis paper about this painting by Claude Monet. It is entitled "Autumn on the Siene, Argenteuil". I love Monet's work, and I think this fits into his collective works very well as well as reflecting the techniques of the impressionism genre. I love the transition of color from left to right and the techniques that Monet used to create this painting. Impressionists use extremely small brush strokes, mostly dotting the brush on the canvas to eventually create the scene that they wish to portray. This technique is very difficult and requires lots of patience. I wish that I had the patience to paint this way, because the result is simply gorgeous.
