Claude Monet loved nature — and what better time to enjoy it than its reawakening after a long, cold winter.

He loved to paint “en plein air” — outdoors in the open air — enjoying the fresh light and colors of spring, with the scent of blossoms drifting on the spring breeze.

Here are 10 paintings by Monet that feature “spring” in the title.

Hope they put a spring in your step today!
