This allows the artist, Monet, to, once again reinforce the idea of the contrast between water and sky. As I stated earlier, the color scheme is repeated and reflected within this painting. I also picked this painting for its striking color scheme. I believe he was successful at portraying that. This is because he is trying to express the beauty and serenity of this landscape.
