Seeking the Arts ~ The Claude Monet Exhibit
Happy Friday!
It is Veterans Day and of course I want to thank everyone who has served this country. I have shared this before but my husband is one of them. Thank you! I don’t have to be in the office today so I booked a few things to get done. Last night my group the Guild had a Wine and Design Event. It was a lot of fun! We got to meet the new designers for the upcoming Decorator’s Showhouse! We got to see their plans for the room that they are assigned. It’s really exciting! Our Christmas luncheon will be coming up soon as well as the fashion show! I’ll try to share photos if I can. Now on to my most recent “seek the arts” adventure.
During fall break we went to Nashville and visited a few places. What we also did was take Lauren to the Monet Art Exhibit at Newfields.

The exhibit transported you to 19th century Paris and displayed the works of Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Cezanne. The exhibit had music which was set to include Europe’s most renowned composers!
I found a seat and just enjoyed the exhibit. I believe this was “Woman with a Parasol” from 1875.

I believe this is the “Water Lily Pond” from 1900.
I only took a few photos. I wanted to pay attention and enjoy the moment. It was a pretty long presentation, and it also displayed the works of the other artists. Lauren and I both love the water lily piece. There are a few more that I love from Monet and they are Camille (the Woman in the Green Dress), On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt, Houses on the Achterzaan, Bouquet of Sunflowers, and there are so many more. I am trying to find ways to enjoy the arts in my city. Please let me know below what you are doing to explore your town!
Don’t forget to check out the boutique! A few dresses are on sale! Have a great weekend!
My county has a newsletter of events that shares the goings on of the county as well as the neighboring communities events. That has helped me find all sorts if things. The local dance conservatory will put on the Nutcracker and I’ll be getting tickets. I may go to the matinee then to an early supper. I just found out about a Italian restaurant and the reviews say someone’s gonna is back there cooking. Fresh and authentic. That’s on my list.
What a beautiful exhibit of Monet. I’m glad you all enjoyed it. Water Lillies is spectacular isn’t it? Years ago Victoria Trading Company had a beautiful umbrella with that painting on it. I never could get my hands on it. Maybe one day 💕😊
Oh you are going to the Nutcracker! How nice is that! A new restaurant discovery for you! Yay! If you go report back of your experience.
Water Lilies is a dream! I would love to see it in Paris as well!
