Flowers in Monet's Garden




It's another fun Mosaic Monday. Thanks, Mary, for hosting this!
I wanted to share a little of Claude Monet's garden with you. Don't miss the other beautiful mosaics at http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/.
We had a wonderful visit to Monet's house in Giverny, France. I was in garden heaven! It was a rainy day, but the flowers were gorgeous! Peonies, pansies, irises, clematis, roses, foxgloves, poppies and many more....just a feast for the eyes! Tomorrow I'll post pictures of the water lily pond in the garden.

    How wonderful! Isn't that the most beautiful place on earth? I LOVE his house, though...the blues and yellows! I don't know why more fuss isn't made over it! Thanks for sharing!...Debbie

    I think gardens often look better in the rain. The colours are stronger, less washed out by the bright sun. Very pretty.

    Breathtaking! Monet has always been my favorite painter, not to mention Impressionist and I studied art history in college. I had chosen Monet as my favorite before I learned I have something in common with him: we were both born on November 14. Fun! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs and Happy Mosaic Monday! ~Arleen

    This photo is gorgeous! But don't get upset when I tell you that you simply must post it larger. Because you must! It's too beautiful to be this small. Find out how from Mary. She is a pro at this sort of thing.
    Beautiful!

    I have been there and it is hard to describe. The pictures capture some of the feel. But don't you just feel like you are standing in the middle of a giant bouquet...kind of hugged by God. I am so glad you got to enjoy this enchanting place as an artist. I love your cheerful watercolors.
