Giverny

When Claude Monet settled in the village of Giverny it became the centre of Impressionism. He was inspired by his garden and flowers which became the subjects for his paintings. Today Giverny and the gardens of Claude Monet are much frequented but remain a constant tribute to the man who many regard as the Master of Impressionism. In my images of the garden I have endeavoured to capture something of the Impressionist style using soft focus filters and post capture blur techniques - I even resorted to breathing on the lens. If only I could paint!!
