Lucky me. Just come back from a visit to Paris and Normandy. Highlight was a visit to Monet's Garden. It has been a dream of mine to visit there. I wasn't disappointed. We picked a really good time of year to go. And, of course, I just had to do a quick sketch while there.

Drawn in green water soluble pen. Quick sketch but the memory will last forever! |

Me in action. Very small notebook in hand and soaking up the atmosphere while sketching.

Love the sketch! That is such a wonderful place to sketch or paint. I loved being there and am hoping to eventually go again.
ReplyDeleteWish I had the time to stay all day and paint. I do hope you get there again, it's a special place
DeleteLovely sketch in enchanting garden,dear Polly.
ReplyDeleteI think you well deserved those magic days! Gros Bisous,Rita.
Merci Cher Rita. Un jardin tres special. xx
DeleteEnvious Polly, I wasn't into painting when I visited Monets Garden back in 2007 so would love to revisit
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you haven't been painting a long time really! You have the memories though.
DeleteOh… color me Monet garden green with envy… some day I'd love to visit there too…
ReplyDeleteWhat shade of green would that be??? I appreciate I am lucky, and hope you are one day too
DeleteIt looks so peaceful there. Must have been a great visit for you Polly! :)
ReplyDeleteYes it was very special. And I was sooo pleased that my hubby enjoyed it too.
DeletePolly, check out a youtube.com video by Karlyn Holman and the calligraphy pen, the Elegant Writer. She explains how she uses it and how to make the ink turn permanent.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks a lot. I look forward to watching it.
DeleteYour sketch is great and will always hold a wonderful memory !
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's something I will never forget
