Mosaic Monday: Giverny
Waterlilies floating lazily,
willow branches dancing
in the breeze
along the path
that skirts the pond.
A pink house with green shutters
keeping watch over
climbing roses.
Roses growing beside a picket fence.
Astilbes leaning, like Narcissus
trying to glimpse himself
in still water.
An old hotel

An old hotel
in the village
where artists came
to pay homage to Monet.
p.s. These "artful images" are based on photographs
that I took at Giverny and later digitally manipulated.

Steven - it was a beautiful place to see, yes, but the magic was that I got to experience it with my mother-in-law just before she was diagnosed with renal cancer. I was fortunate to have three, almost four, wonderful weeks with her as she saw things she'd always dreamed of seeing, but never thought she'd have the chance to see.She died a year later.
Your mosaic is outstanding! There's a 2 part BBC video available at Netflix called "The Impressionists" - so well done, I've watched it 3 times! I hadn't known of the deep and abiding friendships between so many of the most famous artists of that era. You would surely enjoy it.
