there y' go again catching me off guard....keep thinking of your 'geese' one and how your apparent sensitivity to nature creates these beautiful renderings that seem to fall out of your head at unexpexted times...guess that makes them even more special like this one....pat

Why artists paint. You have created a lovely rendering for us to enjoy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we are all beholden to this one.

Nicely said, Sir Patrick. "Splashed" would seem to be the perfect word to describe the clouds in the photo. Used to enjoy spending my lunch hour watching clouds,,,, no wait, that was "Chicks" and now that I think of it, I believe it was "Happy Hour" and it might have been "smashed" not "splashed."

Geez, Thanks for bringing all of that up again. Dick

When one looks to see that which isn't and makes sense of it, points to a higher calling, it points to the artist in you, otherwise all this be pointless, or paintless, or Monet wouldn't like it, would he? A great tribute on both art forms Patrick, I wouldn't doubt, that a little Maybowl, might have helped, no? Bless ya!

I think as well, God was probably smiling at Monet, for this could only have been brought about by both of them...e
