I spent a day with Monet and a garden. A day I'm sure he would have been happy with. If Monet had been a photographer, he would capture treelines that change with the season, fog, haze, moors, deserts, marshes, monsoons, the Himalayas. In his lifetime, he could only go as far as the newly-built trains & train tracks could take him. If he'd been alive today - oh, the sights he would have seen!

ReplyDeletethese are great, and i love how you portray them.

ReplyDeleteThese are clever and beautiful! :) That first one almost matches up perfectly with the scenery.
ReplyDeletei like what you did here! it is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteand i like what monet did, too. :)
Love it! Monet is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done here! Monet's paintings are like a feast for the eyes. And I am always hungry for more. The museum that the art postcards I sent you are from has a delightful collection of works by Monet. I easily get lost in their splendor.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of Monet as a modern day photographer thrills me. It's nice to imagine :)
Here is one Monet painting I particularly love.
What a charming idea!! I was reading about Monet's garden recently and now I'm obsessed with visiting it! I hope you're well lovely lady!

ReplyDeleteOh I love this post (the art historian in me is jumping for joy and wishing I were back in school)! I agree with you about Monet and the photography. NZ looks absolutely beautiful in early spring (so strange that we are just beginning our descent into fall).
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely weekend!

Thank you for the comment gorgeous!! Wishing you a lovely, picturesque weekend! :-)) xxoxoxo
ReplyDeletei love the quote.
ReplyDeletedon't need to understand something to fall in love with it. Am not an artsy person but i love those. I am the dumbest person when it comes to knowing art and artist. I love the galleries for it's design, and i admit i would probably look smart inside one. hihihiihhi.
thanks for sharing this. The photos are great too. You have an eye for art. am jealous
wow, those pictures go so perfectly with the flowers, i adore all the beautiful colours :) and thankyou so much for your comment dear ♥
ReplyDeletethis blog is absolutely beautiful! i love that every picture seems to fit the space with the flowers around it :) Monet is amazing. really. and your blog is gorgeous too, i'm so glad i discovered it ♥
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely post! my sister and i both love monet. :)
ReplyDeletei've never thought about painters as photographers ... this is a really neat idea to pontificate! i imagine monet finding the softness in every day life and picasso finding angles and lines.
Aaah! I cannot tell you how much I love this. I'm glad someone likes florals as much as I do :)
ReplyDeleteI love what you have captured here. Such a great quote!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pics..nice idea:)
ReplyDeleteyour blog makes me wanna watch marie antoinette :)
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, beautiful, beautiful !!!
Kisses and hugs!
I love a beautiful garden..there is no better place to relax :)
This is a perfectly lovely set of photographs!!
ReplyDeleteI never used to like Monet until I saw a series of his work in person, and it completely changed the way that I thought about painting.
Brilliant.
So pretty :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. The first picture matches so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. Beautiful pictures. I wish I could step into a Monet painting every once in awhile...they seem so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this post! Beautiful photos, beautiful idea.
