The first time I saw a Monet in person I fell in love with how he made a still image feel alive & it took me back to the bank of a swamp where I spent so many summer afternoons in my childhood watching bullfrogs hop from lily pad to lily pad attempting to avoid the predators that laid in waiting. To this day I still enjoy creating my own renditions of water lilies combining various impressionist styles. This particular volume is the second that I've created digitally via Photoshop.
