Homage to Monet, 48" x 60" , oil on canvas to make it's debut at the Paris to Loveland Show

This painting is of Monet's famed lily pond at his Gardens in Giverny, France. I had the great pleasure to go there Summer 2010. I did 7 plein air paintings while there and this is my second studio piece from the trip. This painting is BIG - 4 feet by 5 feet - to convey my immense appreciation of Monet's work, all the beauty that he created and the inspiration that he gives to me as an artist finding my expression in paint.

His paintings of Native Americans and of the New Mexico desert landscape are considered among his best works.

Description of paintings for Captured Moments Show

Each painting draws the viewer into the experience of the unique beauty of a time and place: Spring, before grapes are on the vines and the mustard grows wild and vibrant yellow in the vineyard; Summer, at noon in a winegarden with a peaceful fountain and tables set for guests; a rose bush flush with blooms against the sun-warmed adobe wall; A mission bell tower against the soft grey green of a mountain.

Sold Fechin's Garden Painting

So happy to report that the brilliant ladies at Walden Fine Art just sold a little painting of my entitled Fechin's Garden. Yahoo! I hope it is a small sign of good things to come.
