Stalking Monet

To paint in the footsteps of a great artist is a thrill. Painting in Monet’s Gardens is all but impossible with crowds, weather, and bugs, but persistence pays off occasionally. Just as the fall colors began to illuminate the gardens, I got my workshop in to paint for the day. We had a combination of sun and rain, but it is a day none of us will ever forget.
