Giverny (Monet's Garden)
I have visited the wonderful reconstruction of Monet's garden at Giverny twice. On both occasions, I was overwhelmed by the garden and found lots to inspiremy work. My first "Giverny" engraving is now out of print but there are several others here to tempt you. Five of them can be purchased together as a set, as well as individual. Prints are approximately the size that they appear on screen. Sizes are given in mm. There are about 25mm to the inch.
Monet's Gardeners

French gardening can be very labour intensive and I was interested to watch these gardeners lifting plants to store over the winter. This enraving suggested itself on the spot but it took four years - and another visit - before I completed it. It ius a tribute to the workers who maintain the garden. It was "Critics Choice" at the Cambridge drawing Society annual exhibition.
