Monet began painting lily ponds at the age of sixty, inspired by the ponds he had in his gardens in Giverny, in northern France. Monet planted white water lilies local to France along with imported cultivars from South America and Egypt, resulting in a range of colors including yellow, blue and white lilies that turned pink with age. Monet devoted himself to painting lily ponds for the last twenty-six years of his life, producing approximately 250 oil paintings on the subject. These became some of Monet’s best known works.

"Lesh Creates is a Wellington based illustrative artist, inspired by nature. I love painting NZ native birds, flora, sealife and more. I use acrylic paint and really water it down, and layer the colours for more depth. I finish each illustration outlining with black indian ink pen, this instantly gives it a retro vibe. I keep my backgrounds plain to keep the focus on the subject I'm painting, and label the subject with its common/scientific/ or Māori identification. Sometimes after my paint has dried I use coloured pencils in parts of the illustration to lift and give more vibrancy to the piece."
