An avid gardener, Impressionist painter Claude Monet landscaped the extensive grounds of his home in Giverny, then used the lush verdure, bright blooms, and calm waters as inspiration for many of his masterpiece paintings--including his famous Water Lilies series. In this sumptuous calendar, photographer/gardener Elizabeth Murray celebrates the artist's creation in fifty-three dazzling images, each accompanied by a description and a quotation from Monet or one of his contemporaries. Also included are international holidays, calling codes, and time differences; 2007 and 2008 yearly grids; pages for notes; and a personal information page.
