"For the Love of Monet"

First - pardon me for two things. The title is corny, I know it. But it's the first thing to pop into my head and I usually go with it. And pardon the absence, I appreciate your frequent visits - I've been creating some fun things for my upcoming 30th high school reunion.
DVD's......soundtracks........posters......... tracking people down, and in between, I paint. It's been busy and fun.

This new piece is a scene from the Art Institute of Chicago - my favorite museum where I should be a week from today. I can't wait. This young couple stands before Monet's London paintings - on the left is 'Houses of Parliament' and on the right is 'Charing Cross Bridge', both showstoppers.

  3. Beautiful. It's also my favorite museum. I used to go every Sunday, while my husband would babysit.

    Enjoy your reunion.

  5. I'm so blown away by how you can work a theme over and over and keep it as fresh and original as if you had only painted a single museum piece.
