Features: "If one day I could see Monet's garden, I think I would see a garden of colors, not just a garden of blooming flowers, but a garden of colors. The arrangement of flowers does not follow the natural order; when planting, they intentionally group flowers with similar colors together so that they can bloom simultaneously, turning blue or pink into a sea of color. This garden, meticulously designed by the painter, is colored in every detail. There are flowers on the ground, flowers in the water—the gentle water lilies in the artist's brushwork. This garden is not only the subject of painting but also art, a work completed in nature, shining brilliantly thanks to the artist's careful cultivation. Monet's garden is like a sketch, drawn from life, full of vitality, with colors perfectly blended, utterly magnificent; the color scheme has formed, harmonious and pleasing to the eye."
