"Apart from painting and gardening, I'm good for nothing"
Claude Monet
"sometimes I went to sit on the bench from which Monet saw so much in the reflections of his water garden.
Only with perserverance could my untrained eye follow the master's brush even distantly to the extreme limits of his revelations"
Georges Clemenceau

Monet used to watch the changing light on the water lilies from the bench beside the pond.

Photos and video taken on sony handycam on wednesday 14th September at Monet's house and garden near Paris.
