Waterlilies are obviously Monet's domain. I have visited Monet's garden in Giverny, France four times in my life. The first when I was 20 years old in the early 80s, then every decade since.
My first exhibition of painting of Monet's garden was in 2006. Flowers have always been one of my main subjects as has water so waterlilies on a pond are an obvious subject for me to paint.
We all love Monet, who doesn't. But I hope that my paintings of waterlilies are a tribute to the master. Art offers us a method to communicate what we may not necessarily fully understand or know how to express. The idea is not to copy or re-create the master but to re-invent.
