Many of the pics you have in this posting are featured among the ones he painted and the stories behind the inspiration of many of them. It's an interesting read! These photos are STUNNING! I would love to see this in person in Giverny! Johnny said he wants to take me to France for our 30th anniversary in two years. YES! Maybe we'll visit Giverny then! :) Hugs friend and thanks for the French Virtual trip to my favorite artists home! :) Hugs friend~ ~CC~CC Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792691562262851929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-54629396324466567522010-06-25T15:24:40.596-04:002010-06-25T15:24:40.596-04:00Oh, I loved this tour.
