The Artists Garden at Vetheuil, 1881
Claude-Oscar Monet
1840-1926
French
Oil on canvas
39-5/8 x 32 in. ... I have many favorite Impressionist artists and among them falls Claude-Oscar Monet. A particular painting that I enjoyed the most would be The Artist’s Garden at Vetheuil by Claude-Oscar Monet. ...
The Artist’s Garden at Vetheuil is not a very large scale painting, but indeed it is also not too small. ... This is because Monet did not use black color, instead he combined different hues into a black color. My view of the painting showed lack of black tonality instead I was able to see that Monet would blend colors to give the illusion of black. ... Combining different colors, once again giving the illusion that Monet used, also creates the shadows black within his shadows. ...
As I continued to observe this painting, I noticed that Monet used small brush strokes almost heading to pointalism. ... Monet painted many sunflowers surrounding the hillside staircase. ... Monet clearly indicates that he had a vast amount of sunflowers in this part of his garden. ... With this Monet doesn’t quite make a difference with the scale of the flowers. ... I was able to observe that Monet used several hues for his grass. ... Monet used pink, red, violet, blue, yellow, orange and some white to create the grassy area. ... All the colors that Monet used to paint his garden blended into a single color. ...
Monet is best known for his flower gardens. “I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers, said Monet in 1924. ... He took great care of his garden and above all devoted himself to this garden. This painting that I observed was created at Vetheuil, France in 1881. He also created four paintings of the same garden, but only made some changes.
