Monet's Garden






The garden is 
immense...






and it is as if...









the garden and house are all one living..







breathing organism...







flowers are potted inside...







and copious windows overlook the 
flowering acres...









I did my best to capture photos
sans tourists, 
but it was almost impossible 
to do it in the house...









I did manage it in the dining room
above and below...
which was a cheery yellow and blue..
and filled with blue willow dishes..







but failed miserably
in the rest of the house...
the studio of course was amazing ...
a large room...

with huge windows...






and a great portion of it roped off
with wonderfully good reproductions of his work on the walls..














it was as if he had just stepped out
of the studio...






stopped at the window...







and decided to paint ...








in the garden...







and who could blame him...







surrounded by such gorgeosity..








as for me..
I am back home after visits with family
back to the studio...








working on deadlines...
finishing up my travel journal...

and journal pages..
working on planning an art show next year in 
Fort Collins..
at Bis Gallerie..

and YOU...
I hope your summer is beautiful...
