Last year I had a sunflower calendar. Surprise, surprise.This year I have a Monet calendar. Monet is one of the main artists associated with Impressionism. In fact, there is a painting by Monet which is considered the inaugural Impressionist work. Indeed, the movement's name was taken from the title of this work (in English), Impression, Sunrise.
I used to want to be a painter. An Impressionist painter. I wanted to be Monet. It used to be that I wanted oil paint and canvases for Christmas . . . those are days gone by. But Monet and the idea of wanting to be an Impressionist painter and Impression, Sunrise all have a special place in my heart.
So, how delighted was I to find that the Monet painting featured for this month, the month of comps (next week), and the month of my birthday, is Impression, Sunrise? Very. I like to think that it's a good sign.
