I thought what better way to get back into the groove then sharing an old favorite by renowned French Impressionist artist Claude Monet. I was first introduced to Monet-and to this painting-through Cristina Bjork's books Linnea's Almanac - she also wrote Linnea in Monet's Garden. Not only did it inspire my green thumb, but it also heavily influenced my passion for art. As a child and now as an adult, I still adore Monet's works. Each brushstrokes is exquisite and the colors are vivid. His paintings are alive and breathtaking...even as an image!
