Ever wonder what it would be like to go on vacation with Claude Monet?
Here’s a snapshot of Monet and his wife Alice with some new friends at San Marco in Venice in 1908.

Oh wow. This one gives me the creeps. I wouldn’t let one of those creatures perch on me. Not even for Monet.

Wish Monet used this photo to paint one of his “impressionism” paintings. I am not a connoisseur of art but it seems to me that Monet was an enigma. Some of his paintings, in my opinion, are more “realism” than “impressionism.”

He did paint Venice but it didn’t look much like this!
I love Art Nouveau and Henri Matisse’s expressionist work but I’m not a connoisseur either!

From the look on her face, Mrs. Monet doesn’t like pigeons any more than I do. Bless her heart!

Lol, Alice Monet was a good sport about it! I don’t like pigeons either. I read the other day that Nikola Tesla loved them. It astounded me!
