Claude Monet is definitely my favorite impressionist painter. Of all his paintings 'Water Lilies' continues to impress and inspire generations of artists and art lovers the world over. I find myself constantly drawn to the theme of water lilies, Japanese bridges and water gardens. Monet's garden itself is of such virgin beauty....wild, untamed and mystical. The water lilies and the luxurious undergrowth add an element of mystery. You find yourself delving deeper into the painting searching for secrets that tend to remain tantalizingly hidden. I made this paintings last month. A very ambitious yet modest attempt.
I discovered the joy of oil pastels only last year and decided to try out something on pastel paper...Water lilies keep enchanting me, if a theme could be called a muse then this definitely would be it.
I intend to make a pilgrimage to Giverny someday and gaze upon the water lilies in the master's garden.
