Peony Garden

Claude Monet once said: “I must have flowers, always, and always.” The artist lived for forty-three years, from 1883 to 1926, in his house in Giverny. With a passion for gardening as well as for colours, he conceived both his flower garden and water garden as true works of art. Walking through his house and gardens, visitors can still feel the atmosphere which reigned at the home of the Master of Impressionism and marvel at the floral compositions and water lillies, his greatest sources of inspiration. Some of Monet’s favorite flowers, seen at Giverny are Japanese anemones, asters, nasturtiums, delphiniums, mullein, lupins and peonies. Monet was passionate about mixing different types of plants, from the simplest wildflower to the most rare variety, as long as he achieved the effect he wanted. I would like to dedicate this painting to Caroline - who loves Monet and has her birthday on May 24th :) Cheers to you and Ross!
