Did you know that Claude Monet created his water lily ponds to paint? And here all these years later, I am also painting his water lily pond. My daughter, Tracy, & I went to Giverny, France to visit Claude Monet's house, gardens and water lily ponds. From the many photos I took, I painted this painting.
