Art

I have spent part of the day today looking at art – impressionist art – Monet’s art. Needless to say, I’ve had a great day.

Seeing particular pieces of art seems to, literally, feed my soul. I have a physical, as well as emotional, reaction to some artwork. It’s as if my inner being is soaking up the experience.

Monet and Renoir almost always have that effect on me – not always, but almost. Other artists can impact me that way as well. Today a Chagall painting really struck a cord with me, even though he is not one of my favorite artists.

I’m sharing this close up I took today of a study Monet did for his final waterlilies paintings. I couldn’t use flash, so it’s not the best photo, but it does show the texture in the paint, which is one of the things I love in this work.

This is one of the reasons seeing a photo or print of a painting is not at all like seeing it in person – you miss all those details.
