Baudy Cafe, Giverny France
Oil on Canvas
30" x 40"

Down the street from Monet's home and studio is Baudy Cafe in Giverny.  This establishment was around when other artists from Europe and the United States would come and spend time with Claude Monet. Here they could catch a bed and a meal and paint in the incredible gardens of the cafe, with their favorite artist only a few steps away.  Lining the cafe inside are small works of all the artists who came and painted there.  I spent a chunk of time looking up to see if I might recognize anyone.  Behind the cafe is a charming studio. It is often labelled as Monet's studio, but I'm not sure that he painted there since he had quite a nice studio in his home.
