The first part of my vacation has turned into an all out exploration of Claude Monet. I made a long over due visit to Le Musee de L'Orangerie as well as visiting the small town Giverny. The L'Orangerie houses some of Monet most famous paintings, his series of "Nympheas" or water lilies. It was there I broke my personal oath to never photograph paintings... but everyone else was doing it and I desperately wanted to show them to you. Giverny is the city that Monet called home and where he created his beautiful gardens. So I will show you his paintings and then his inspiration. The picture above is from the Tuileries gardens where Louise Bourgeois has had her wonderful spider installed while she's exhibiting here in Paris. That's the Louvre in the background. p.s. This post made possible by Joanie and Bill, as well as viewers like you.
