22.1x14.2 in ~ Painting, Embroidery
What a joy to feature a famous garden created by the one and only Monet. Every season has its own charm and grace. This scene was painted in April, just as the day lilies and astilbe plants flower at the lake's border. The softness of the flowers together with the bold leaf shapes alongside the rippled water projects a calm and serene cameo of patterns and colours.
The embroidery in the foreground vibrates with liveliness as the light shimmers over the textured silken forms.
This scene gives so much pleasure to the eye, since the viewer will discover many new pockets of delight with this marriage of water colour divined with embroidery.
