I am so impressed that your eight year old grandson is so interested in art. I think it is so important for young children to be introduced to culture.

It is the story of a little girl who travels with a family friend to les jardins de Giverny to see the water lily paintings. The illustrations are really lovely and the story is very sweet. I have read it with all three of mes enfants. One of these days I hope to take them to see the gardens in person. Peut-etre un de ces jours!

There was a wonderful art teacher at the first elementary school where I began my teaching career. She provided those children with unique experiences in all art forms and mediums. Those little second grade children could carry on an infomed discussion of art and artists. Sorry - didn't mean to go on so long. Grandchildren are God's true gift. Have a great weekend.<br /><br />CharlaFOR THE SAKE OF TIMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533941414774198479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-81615861288087729422009-06-27T14:56:09.047-04:002009-06-27T14:56:09.047-04:00Hi Debbie, I LOVE Monet.

It is always interesting to me to observe what sparks the interest of a child and then watching to see how it influences him/her throughout their life. And I'm sure many years from now he will have very fond memories of the time he spent at the Monet exhibit with his grandma. :)Shari @ My Cottage of Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438747359748779374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-88002322269336009182009-06-27T13:22:59.663-04:002009-06-27T13:22:59.663-04:00We have been having a truly lovely visit with our ...We have been having a truly lovely visit with our daughter and her family. Our granddaughter is so precious!! It is hard when they are so far away so we savor every moment. I have been able to cook a lot because our daughter is not feeling up to it since her dental surgery. My hubby and son-in-law are loving it though!<br />I saw a traveling Monet show in Boston several years ago and some at the New York Metroplitan Museum of Art...spectacular. My fave artist and the Boston trip was a gift from my husband who took me there.
