Plein Air Painting Competition in Monet's Town

Fête de la peinture in Giverny France - Plain Air Painting competition in Monet's town Giverny
Claude Monet invented gardens that evoke his painting, always in motion, where the light reveals colors in continual vibration. International Plein Air Painters compete in Giverny but for sure it is the feeling to be at their master's home that is so important to them apart from the competition.

His atelier is in the little lane of Monet's house. Many artists came to live near the master and stayed and are still inspired by his creativity, even up to now ......
