Love this Monet. Brushtrokes and light…a new way of looking at the world which the impressionists achieved. A fine haiku !

They sure did! A group of rebels they were, and they created a whole genre:)

Great interpretation — and one of my favorite artists 🙂
Were you able to see Flaming June this summer?

Thank you, one of mine too.
Yes, I did get to see Flaming June!!! The photos don’t do it justice. There’s so much missing from them. She is on a varandah
with the ocean in the backdrop with a high shine on the water. There’s a strict no photos policy and they enforce it. And of course she is behind glass so when you a trying to sneak a photo you’re fighting the glare. But it was awesome!!

Oh, I’m so envious!!!
Would love to see her in person — even if you *do* have to fight the glass glare. 🙂 It sounds like it was a magnificent experience. [Sigh….!!!]

“Chasing the light” is very true. I used to paint landscapes outdoors. It often felt like this..
