Monet spent the last thirty years if his life painting water lilies in different composition, a series of 250 paintings.
Beginning in 1903 Claude Monet began to concentrate on works that dispensed with the conventional structure of landscape painting and focused directly on the surface of the pond and its reflection.
In Green Reflections, Claude Monet emphasized cool tones of blue and green to suggest the refreshing shade around the pond.
In May 1909, Monet exhibited forty eight of these Waterlilies in a highly successful exhibition at Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris.
