Colorful Claude Monet

  Our  fun travel plans to Paris just wouldn't be complete if we 

didn't stop and visit the home and gardens of 

French Impressionist Claude Monet!

Both his house and garden are filled with fabulous color!

 In several of the rooms, the furniture is painted the

same color as the walls.

The walls are decorated with his mass collection

of Japanese woodblocks... 231 in total.  They

really inspired him and he love seeing them all

around his house!

I get so inspired by the bright colors and the thought that I have

something in common with this great artist!

The garden is also filled with splashes of color everywhere you look!

His own garden, pond and Japanese bridge were the inspiration

for countless paintings.

I especially love the Water Lillies...

and the paintings he did of them.

 

I'm so inspired by the artist Caude Monet

and can't wait to see his house, gardens and

pond next September!
