When I saw them in Chicago, they were so overwhelming that I can not properly describe them. I had a physical reaction akin to what happens when I hear a fantastic piece of music performed. I broke into a cold sweat, popped a boner and nearly soiled myself.

WERD.
Monet is my favorite painter...but there is no feeling in the world like standing next to the paintings and seeing the layers and strokes...and then standing far away and looking at the total piece. The haystacks were amazing...but I was more amazed at his ability to capture the light filtering through the trees, it could have been a photograph. (I saw it in Vegas)
