In the painting, where the tree meets the water it is impossible to tell the exact point where they meet. The water also has so much detail in regards to light that is almost looks like steps. The piece also makes the shadow portion very evident in how Monet portrays the bushes under the Willow Tree. Motion being a major factor in impressionism is used in this painting as well. The willow tree is loosely defined, being a mass of different greens rather than individual branches making up the tree. This allows the tree to take on motion because no one knows exactly where each willow branch is. The same principle applies to The bushes under the tree. In this painting there are no humans, but the idea of back yard paradise is evident in Monet's expression of nature. Monet strove to magnify the beauty of nature through his work. The magnification in this work is making the large picture perfect, not the small things like a deformed branch or peeling paint on the bridge.
