I am very interested to hear that your experience was like meditation. And how you felt like you were experiencing what Monet had. What a wonderful way to connect with our past painting heritage! There is much we do not understand about what really is.
You know, that French painter that couldn't paint gardens or bridges what so ever. One day he discovered that he could paint them purely by imagination, but people wouldn't buy those funny fairytale paintings, so he grow his own garden with bridge and told everybody that he painted it on location, ... he became very VERY famous but went blind in the end, ... Too bad, but not as bad as that Dutch painter who went to Wales, where they hadn't even invented cars yet, they only where one step further then sheep on the evolutionary ladder. This poor painter loves to paint fast cars and lately bicycles as well. No Welshmen knew what those strange paintings where representing, they where even a bit frighten by them. To calm the crowd a little the Dutch painter decided to paint their Wales country side as well, only to discover that the welsh people only care about there cousins, ... the sheep's.
