Monet Moment . . .

This lily pond is a constant source of inspiration … never fails to remind me of my favourite artist (add a bench, and it is idyllic!!!).

    A Monet moment?.... You bet!!
    I imagine he’d be proud to see this…. might even look to you for inspiration!

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Ah the park is full of inspiration Rosemary! I suspect there’ll be a No 2 and No 3 of this “Monet” series before long – I hardly knew which way to turn to shoot pics on this day – great light, and so green!! Thank you for the lovely encouragement.

    Oh my, what a lovely scene. Such a beautiful composition. The lighting is superb, and the greens are so pleasingly beautiful, perfectly balanced by the small areas of red leaves. Just like Monet would have painted it (he’s a favourite of mine also).
    Brilliant work, Rosalie. I perfectly understand why you return to this spot again and again.
