Water Lilies 11 by Claude Monet is one I hadn't previously come across.  Instead of is usual greens and blues, Monet paints this using bold oranges.  It looks as though the water is on fire--definitely a departure from the calming water lily paintings many of us have come to expect.

The reflection of the sun on the water makes it look as though it is not water at all, but an exploding volcano--quite a juxtaposition of images.

It makes you think, as all good art does.
