My impressions of Impressionism

Today, we left Rouen and made a half a days stop in Giverny which I'm sure most of you know as Monet's home and great inspiration for the last years of his life. As it turned out, many other impressionists have loved this town as well. It even has the Musée des impressionists which houses paintings and prints from a wide variety of artists including some traditional Japanese landscapes and some work is by Monet, himself. Before the museum though, we visited Monet's two gardens from which he drew much of his inspiration. They were pretty, but not particularly inspiring to me. Mom and Emma saw Monet's house which was not wheelchair accessible. Apparently though, it was quite interesting. All in all, our trip to Giverny was very informative and we saw some cool art. I will do my last post on this blog from home tomorrow.
