John mentioned he was somewhat disappointed because the paintings he had seen in a book he had were much better. Yes, I would have to agree with that and especially if you've seen the absolutely magnificent panels of water lilies at the Orangerie Musee in Paris. I guess the Vancouver exhibit was very interesting to me because I hadn't seen these ones before and some were moving to an abstract quality and since my abstract experiments which were quite fun I found that aspect intriguing.
Linda, you might want to try to take in the Orangerie but I know you're pretty booked in Paris. You can get quite a good idea of the room and the paintings on the link. I couldn't pick much up for images but these few will give you an idea of the size of the paintings and how wonderful they are.
