Monet built the canvas before painting it

Monet did not find this path. He designed it. He planted it. He spent decades building Giverny into exactly what he wanted to paint. He built a ceiling of roses. The arches, the way the flowers close over your head as you walk through. All of it was deliberate. He was controlling light and color in the garden the same way he controlled it on the canvas. He started going blind while he was doing this. He kept painting anyway. Some of the most intense color work of his life came from a man who could barely see. Would you like a ceiling of rose every time you go home? 🛒 Get it here: https://art.
