Item Description

This 20x20 incredibly vibrant Impressionist work of art is hand signed in the lower left. It comes with a certificate of authenticity as well as lunch with the painter! Diane Monet is the great grand-niece of Claude Monet. She has followed in her family’s proud tradition by being an award-winning world class impressionist. Diane was included in an exhibition at the prestigious Salon des Artistes Independants in Paris, where she is a member. The society counts among its talent pool Paul Cezanne, Henri Toulous-Latrec and Camille Pisasro.

Miss Monet has created and sold more than 600 original works of art. Her work is unabashedly beautiful – vibrant, optimistic and inviting. On all levels, whether visual, spiritual or emotional, a Monet is clearly meant to be enjoyed – and shared!

She paints six days a week. The amount of time required for each painting is considerable, since her technique requires adding many layers - and each must slowly dry before the next can be applied - to achieve the depth and luminosity for which she is known. She may work on a single painting over several months. Her originals vary in size from 11"x14" up to 30x30.

She revels in colors and chooses settings abounding in vivid shades. Then she adds her own touch. She can turn a simple shadow into a kaleidoscope, a body of water into a montage, a sky into an eternal field of cotton, a tulip into a bright semaphore. Whether her brushstrokes are fine or free, color reigns majestic.

Her subjects must first resonate deeply within her, so that she wants to share their joy and their peace with her audience. Whether landscapes, gardens or villages, each has invited her to enjoy God's simple blessings here on earth. And each offered its own colors - usually with an array of overtones seen only with a talented eye - to be enjoyed and shared.

Her paintings consume an inordinate amount of her time. Impressionists have a reputation for painting quickly and ignoring details. Miss Monet's impressionism requires painstaking attention. As a result, her work is proudly beautiful, and she will never be known as a "prolific" artist.

But regardless of the setting, the colors never fail to move her audience and warm their hearts. Red poppies and yellow sunflowers. Lavender fields and pink pathways. Apricot and mauve architecture. And always those cotton-speckled, purplish-blue skies.
