jhbren Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 My sister and I went to Kenilworth Gardens in D.C. this morning to see the lotuses and water lilies in bloom. Looking at one pond, I said I should turn it into an impressionist page, and mentioned Monet. Then we came home, and I saw today's task. Think I know what I'm attempting . . .

LauraYB Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 There are so many beautiful parks here in St. Louis, and this week I visited a beauty in Clayton. I've chosen Claude Monet--his works of impressionism are simply mesmerizing to me. I'm going to try to mimic his print that I had hanging above my bed during my college years, Japanese Bridge and Water Lillies in Givenchy. Good luck to me! Ha!

mbc72 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Finish your art inspired layout making sure you include either some art related embellishments or some paint splats. Post your finished layout in the Scrap Girls Retreat Gallery. This is worth one button on the Daily Journal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
