Monet's Japanese Bridge at Giverny

 


The local Garden Club asked me to donate a painting to their French themed annual card party. There was the thought to do a Parisian street scene but then the Impressionists popped into my head. Looking through my library of art books I came across this world famous scene, complete with water lilies. Monet painted in oil so replicating the work in watercolor took many layers of paint, and many hours of work. Enjoyable all the way, it was like a journey and a challenge to try and make it look similar.
