Claude’s Backyard -4

Two rowboats drift through a lively blue pond, surrounded by rippling rings, bright reflections, and lily pads topped with white blossoms. Along the far bank, slender stylized bamboo trees rise beneath a leafy canopy, while one leaning trunk reaches out over the water. Inspired by Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France, the scene combines recognizable pond life with playful abstractions for a dreamlike view of a favorite garden.
