ART NEWS

Hi all. Just heard some wonderful news on NPR about Claude Monet. The garden he painted in, located in France, has been recreated in NY's botanical gardens. There are more than 150 different flowers and over 50 different varieties of water lily's in the garden. It is up until October 21 and will change with each season. If you get a chance to go it would be one of a life time, since most of us can not afford to go to France. Get a group together and take a wild adventure. Remember to take a sketchbook and hope they let you take it inside. I provided some links if you want more information. One is from NPR and the other is the site for New York's botanical garden.
