I'm going to look at my pictures and see if I can't pretend to draw something from them worthy of painting.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-66467174811583298052013-06-18T19:45:20.200-04:002013-06-18T19:45:20.200-04:00I can't imagine how wonderful it must be to se...I can't imagine how wonderful it must be to see Monet's gardens in person.

Many of my photos include a carousel and lately I've been drawing, or trying to draw, the various objects on the carousel, the horses especially. My real favorite is a manually operated carousel in Passy. It is an experience from the last century to watch the children there at Jardin du Ranelagh.c'est Jeff icihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756888309730392872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-36033602715618287872013-06-18T00:08:04.833-04:002013-06-18T00:08:04.833-04:00Not yet on Mt.

The...No, Monets was not a 'cottage garden'.<br />The cottage garden is a distinct style of garden that uses an informal design, traditional materials, dense plantings, and a mixture of ornamental and edible plants. English in origin, the cottage garden depends on grace and charm rather than grandeur and formal structure. Homely and functional gardens connected to working-class cottages go back several centuries, but their reinvention in stylised versions grew in 1870s England, in reaction to the more structured and rigorously maintained English estate gardens that used formal designs and mass plantings of brilliant greenhouse annuals.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-40972670635829830522013-06-16T20:39:32.901-04:002013-06-16T20:39:32.901-04:00Carol, you've surely chosen an especially fine...Carol, you've surely chosen an especially fine time to visit Giverny. In my life, I've gone through various phases of admiring Monet, and not admiring him quite so much. And still. The chance to see this place that gave inspiration to such masterpieces, and also gave Monet a home as his amazing artist's eyes began to fail him...well, I do envy you this visit.<br /><br />Your travel notes have been noted. <br /><br />Your photographs have enlivened my interest in M. Monet, and I thank you so very much. No need for any gift shop, the images of that garden and the custard yellow of the house are quite enough.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-87971995559914802022013-06-16T18:19:49.332-04:002013-06-16T18:19:49.332-04:00Oh I keep forgetting to comment on your sketches a...Oh I keep forgetting to comment on your sketches and color blobs.
