No one could quite create a garden like Claude Monet could. His garden at Giverny, France is full of color year round. He designed it that way so he would always have something to paint. With a pond as the center attraction, a large variety of flowers and plants surrounded it and his home. So whether taking a stroll around the estate, a row in a boat or simply looking out his windows, he had subjects all around to choose from to paint.
