Monet's Boats
I photographed this scene while visiting Monet’s garden Giverny in France in 2001. Never did I expect the boats to be tied up on the side of the pond like this, but there they were. Of course, I had to paint them! I love the dappled sunlight on the boats and in the water along with the view of a path behind them. Are they really the boats Monet stepped into to tootle around the pond? I don’t really know, but I do know he is pictured in boats that looked like these. It was a joy to create the palette needed to convey the view I had so enjoyed; rich, dark green, a pop of deep red, yellows and browns, and of course so many hues of the purest of hues.
