Monet Inspired View (3)

I'm less confident about those in charge of the Art Gallery and Museum Gardens in their choice of this view as an interpretation of Monet's artwork of the view of the River Seine from Quai du Louvre. But then perhaps that is my fault for not reading the notes under the frame before I took the shot.

Part of the notes with this frame read: "Monet’s painting of the river Seine in Paris presents a similar view to the one you are looking at of the river Ouse from the gardens, with people strolling along the banks in both scenes." - well I managed this shot without anyone walking along either bank of the River Ouse! Quite an achievement since the walkways on each bank are usually quite busy.

Still, I did quite like the view here through the trees and across the river. Towards the right of the shot is a recent extension to the flood bank, being used by visitors to sit and enjoy the sun.

Looks better on black background.

I agree with you, Ian. A pleasing and somewhat 'happy' image. About Monet, though? Not sure.

I tend to think of Monet's gardens and water-lilies shots as being more typical. Still, a nice scene

I think it is still in the spirit of Monet's work. Lovely!

I certainly didn't think Monet at first glance

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

There are still a few shots I would like to take of this display as the summer progresses. There is a wildflower meadow behind the art gallery, and sunflowers in the Edible Garden, so there might be more to share of this Monet interpretation later.
