Outside of vernon France about an hour from Paris is Monet’s house at Giverny. I always had the feeling that Monet was near sighted and too vain to wear glasses which explained his unique style. However, after seeing his house and gardens at Giverny I changed my opinion. I think he painted what he saw. This photo has great depth of field and is in focus, yet it is “soft” in appearance due to the willow trees and other vegetation. You can buy a print of this image at my gallery by clicking here.
The Water Garden at Giverny

How beautiful…!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJCQJdNL7IM
Thanks! The video illustrates what I was referring too, his paintings are actually more “realistic” once you visit!
I would love to visit the garden, will do once 🙂
