When Monet traveled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Having brought his paints and other tools with him, he would instead go and sit by a window and paint what he saw. Maybe this window? The painting in this window is my take on one of Monet's. His colors are so soft and pastel so what better than light furniture and  lovely floral patterns every where. Lot's of fun doing all the details in this one.

 Monet was in Paris for several years and met other young painters who would become friends and fellow impressionists; among them was  Edwardo Manet.

Monet found subjects in his immediate surroundings, as he painted the people and places he knew best. His first wife, Camille and his second wife, Alice, frequently served as models. His landscapes chart journeys around the north of Franceand to London, where he escaped the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. Returning to France, Monet moved first to Argenteuil, just fifteen minutes from Paris by train, then west to Vétheuil, Poissy, and finally to the more rural Giverny in 1883. His homes and gardens became gathering places for friends, including Manet  and Renoir, who often painted alongside their host.
