Denver Art Museum Part 2 – Monet Exhibit

Posted byauthorlaurablogPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , , , , ,

I’ve always loved Impressionism and Monet is a sentimental favorite for me because I have fond memories of a special exhibit that I went to with my mom at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Monet traveled extensively so his work includes paintings in London, Amsterdam, Norway, the French and Italian Riviera on the Mediterranean, Normandy, Paris, and of course Giverny where he lived and created his famous Water Lilies work.

Beautiful use of light and shadow
Monet does an excellent job using reflection on the water

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago now living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with my Goldendoodle, Charlie. I spend time volunteering, hiking on the trails with Charlie and friends, and writing. I love visiting schools and mentoring writers and teachers. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I'm currently working on a middle grade novel and several picture books with STEM elements and dogs.

        1. Yes! I knew you were in Europe, and I remembered it was a country I haven’t visited yet. Paris is amazing and my favorite afternoon was spent in the room with the Water Lily murals (I’m not sure they’re called murals) at the Orangerie.
