I found a great picture bk yesterday, The magical Garden of Claude Monetin all places, our library.

It was a beautifully illustrated work of Monet's . The story followed a little girl who spent the day in Monet's garden with Monet. He rowed her across the pond and picked a waterlily then took her back to the studio and showed her his work in progress which was of his water garden.

Laurence Anholt, the author has many other titles also, ones on Leonardo, Picasso, Degas, Camille and another on the Impressionists. Beautiful bks

Dear Erin,

I've just looked up these books on the Amazon site and they look great. I might see if my library have them also. They could be a good start to a study on famous artist, which we haven't really appraoched in a big way yet. Majella is the only one who is aware of different painters because I think she is very artistically directed. Thomas only through reading maybe. So these could be a good beginning.

Thanks
Chemai
