A Day in the Garden with Monsieur Monet - April 24, 2018 - Giverny, France

"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers."  CLAUDE MONET  "My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece."

"When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field, or whatever.  Merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact colour and shape."  - Claude Monet
