fAvOuRitE aRt: part 4
My dear Claude Monet, he is certainly a cliche now, but this piece isn't so I'll throw it in. Of all the pieces I've seen in the best museums in Europe, this was one of the most captivating. It is absolutely huge to begin with (I'd guess 8'x12') and the detail is extraordinary. So let your eyes feast and if you're ever in Paris visit Monet's lovely ladies at the Musee d'Orsay.

Happy Monday!

I absolutely love this painting! I just may have to include this one in my work:) We were there last summer and I don't remember this one.
Thanks for your nice post with furniture and paintings!

It is just lovely - we enjoyed some "very large" art in a museum in Germany! There is nothing like it close up - not too close, or the alarms go off! LOL! Hope you are having a good summer!!

I saw a gorgeous Monet in Sydney and could not believe how big it was...I am also a huge fan of William Bouguereau!
