Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning (Meules, Effet de Neige, Le Matin) is a 1896 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, depicting Snow, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows two large, dark brown haystacks in a snowy field. The one on the right is bigger and closer to the viewer. The snow is white and covers the ground and the haystacks. The sky is light yellow and orange. The haystacks cast shadows on the snow, which is a nice detail. The painting is done in a way that makes the snow look soft and fluffy. If you want to learn more about the artist who made this painting, you should look up Claude Monet.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
