We would buy our food at the market in Vernon.<br />We, too, had the opportunity to visit the gardens on the clean-up day. My husband painted and I photographed. What a memorable experience!<br />We also met William Welch, an American artist from Nantucket. His photo is below in a familiar spot. He also stayed at Hotel Baudy.<br />And a neighbour of mine, Sheila Wyebrow and her sister, Janice stayed at Gale Bennett's place as Janice knew him well.<br />It truly is a small world, is it not?<br />Thanks for recalling pleasant memories.<br />Cheers, MerleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-78600889222634607872013-09-12T21:51:29.823-04:002013-09-12T21:51:29.823-04:00Loved seeing Giverny from your point of view.

I am in love with French Impressionism and the history behind these men and women who gave us so much of French life in the 19th century. I have especially enjoyed these last few days in Monet's garden and ,yes, I would always love more! Your watercolors are beautiful and I love to read about your experiences. Passez une bonne journee!

There is a small book published in 2000 by Vanessa Potts/Parragon publishers (titled MONET) that is delightful; gives history of Monet; rest of book are illustrations of his paintings plus a brief description of each painting. I was blessed to see Monet's home and garden in 2005 - one of my most favorite destinations!
