One of the highlights of the whirlwind trip to the Monet Exhibit in Denver and back in one day was discovering this amazingly beautiful painting by the old Master French Impressionist that I’ve never seen before, Geese in the Brook. This painting was created in 1874, sixteen years before Monet purchased the strip of marshland across the road from his house and flower garden, through which flowed a tributary of the Epte. Once his, Monet diverted this stream to construct his water-lily garden. Soon weeping willows, iris, and bamboo grew around a free-form pool, clusters of lily pads and blossoms floated on the quiet water, and a Japanese bridge closed the composition at one end. By 1900 this unique product of Monet's imagination was in itself a major work of art--an exotic lotus land within which he was to meditate and paint for the remainder of his life. Wonder if Monet was already planning his garden while painting these Geese?
