This is one of the bridge's over Claude Monet's Water Lily Pond in Giverny, France. When my daughter & I were in Paris, France, we spent an afternoon at Claude Monet's house, gardens and water lily ponds in Giverny. I took lots of photos and have since painted many paintings using my photos. Did you know that Claude Monet created his water lily pond so that he could paint it?

Wow beautiful painting Sharon!! Excellent work!!gregg dutcher 17 Aug 2008
I go purely by my imagination myself,...but I've always thought how much more detail I could put into my pictures if I were going by a live scene or photo. That's the hard part about trying to reproduce something or some place simply by memory,...you end up missing the details. You've done a beautiful piece here,...has great realism!!!!Erminio Souza 17 Aug 2008
