When I saw this little fledgling sat in a nearby tree, my thoughts were not to try and copy the great Impressionist painter.
Naturally I was concentrating on getting the bird in focus, the result though however fortunate was very pleasing indeed.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

There are so many wonderful things about learning how to use new media. Several years ago, I had begun to take watercolor classes. My instructor suggested the students choose an artist they admire...and attempt to replicate the work.
The learning curve is quite steep when gaining control of the medium and I have a long journey ahead of me. Who better to follow down that path than Claude Monet?
The wooden bridge in Altyre always reminds me of works by Monet. The shady, subdued light allowed sharp detail with very few highlights.

Copyright Violation!! depicts a portrait of the artist Claude Monet (1840-1926) as he paints the sculpture by Johnson entitled If It Were Time, which is in turn based on Monet’s painting entitled Terrace at Sainte-Adresse. When an edition of If It Were Time was on view at the Corcoran Gallery of Art during Johnson’s exhibition, Beyond the Frame (September 2003 - January 2004) it included this portrait of the French artist “violating” Johnson’s copyright. Through this installation the viewer is playfully confronted by the question of what constitutes an original work of art.
The art in Paris is overwhelming. And Musee d'Orsay is no exception. Look at this huge painting--Luncheon on the Grass by Claude Monet. The painting was started in 1884 and was created as a tribute to a painting by Manet, who had created a painting also entitled Luncheon On the Grass. The original Monet painting was much larger, but Monet eventually used it to pay rent by giving it to his landlord. The landlord rolled it up and stored it until Monet got it back, in somewhat of a moldy state. Those parts were cut up and eliminated. What you see here is what was left. It is magnificent up close.

nameless pond
名もなき池
It is a nameless pond known as Monet's pond.
It is popular because the clear water makes it look like carp are floating. I took the photo with the water lilies in mind, but arranging the carp was difficult.
モネの池として知られる名もなき池です。
澄んだ水により鯉が浮いているかのように見えます。
睡蓮を意識して撮りましたが、鯉の配置って難しい。

28/52 Photograph something you’ve been looking at or walking
past for a long time, but which you’ve never photographed before.
This painting, along with 3 others that are very similar to it, hang in the lobby of the building I work in. I walk by them every morning on the way to the elevator. I've never photographed them before, but I did think about it back when I was doing my 365 project. I seem to be falling behind on this 52 week project but I promise to get up to speed soon, hopefully.

The water lily pond at Monet's Garden, Giverny. The first stop on our wonderful sojourn in France.
Happy Fence Friday, although this is really a bridge not a fence. A good weekend to all.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. We are back home, and I will try to catch up with everyone as I also catch up on much needed rest.
