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.
I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having bcome a painter to flowers. -Claude Monet
