Description
FAIRY TALE POND WITH WATER LILIES AND WILLOW TREES is a digital photograph by Carla Parris which has been edited and enhanced.
The home and gardens of French impressionist painter Claude Monet are in Giverny, France, near the town of Vernon, outside of Paris. I visited them one September afternoon following a morning visit to the l'Orangerie museum where the artist's water lilies canvases are on display. Both the canvases, and the beautiful scenes which were the subject matter of Monet's paintings, were more impressive, and more wonderful, in person than I had even imagined.
This romanticized image, with its vivid colors and a traditional landscape composition, presents a different view and interpretation of this iconic scene than Monet's impressionistic paintings of his pond which have a different palette and the absence of a horizon line. This image has something of a fairy tale look and feel.
Monet's home and gardens at Giverny are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The foreground features lovely pink flowers framing the scene. In the distance, there are graceful weeping willow trees overhanging the pond. The surface of the pond is covered with floating lily pads and water lilies, and the reflection of sky and clouds.
