A TRIBUTE TO CLAUDE MONET

I would like to think that Claude Monet would find some inspiration wandering my gardens.  I definitely find inspiration and a calming feeling from the beauty of the colors and the shapes of the garden's edges and in the shapes of the flowers themselves.  My husband has coined a word and uses it when we sit on the patio soaking in the beauty of our labor of love.  Peaceness.  He loves using that word and I have grown fond of using it myself.  A garden provides a peaceness. 
I love the feeling I get when I view paintings by Claude Monet.  His works of art bring a sense of joy and a sense of calm or peaceness.  Impressionism makes the paintings have such a soft feel to them and the colors that Monet uses in his paintings bring them to life.  So here's to the great French impressionist painter.
