“Color is my day-long obsession, joy, and torment.” 
             ― Claude Monet

He was born on this day in 1840. 

I spent a significant amount of time standing in front of each of these on my last trip to the Getty. I need to go again.

My second crack at the Art Assignment is a piece of crochet for the recent assignment #11: Under the Influence.

I’m not much of a painter so I decided (after finally finding my crochet hooks having moved house earlier this month) to take my inspiration from the colours used as well as the image itself rather than from the materials used.

The painting is San Giorgio Maggiore by Claude Monet, and it’s quite possibly my favorite piece of art at the Welsh National Museum in Cardiff so upon receiving the new assignment I decided to put some odds and ends of yarn I already had (hence the introduction of a bit more green than Monet used) together and made something small that in some small way resembles the original.

It was really nice to just sit and crochet again as I haven’t done so in a while, the addition of chocolate, friends and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to keep me company also made the process that bit more enjoyable too.

Love the translation to a different medium.

Sailing Boats at Honfleur

I’ve been looking at all the Sargent paintings of boats for a series of posts I’m working on, so I knew this wasn’t Sargent, though for a second I thought it might be. I’m pretty sure that would have made Sargent happy, and I think Monet probably would have been okay with it, too.
