We went to Cardiff Museum today and visited the art gallery with the specific intention of looking at the Monets there. He was entranced by the paintings, possibly as much as he was by the echo.
This is for a forthcoming art project initiated by RedTedArt, keep your eyes peeled!
Thanks, against the cool of the blue wall, it really stands out doesn't it? It is edited slightly because they don't allow flash-photography; I used one of PicMonkey's filters called Urbane at 50% fade.
He was interested in it because if you look at his hands they are holding a small storybook about Monet's waterlillies. He was trying to match up the pictures.
Thanks, I forget that we have some of Monet's most beautiful paintings on our doorstep. I can't wait to get started on the project with him, just planning it through in my head.

That's a really nice photo, the wood floor and the painting's frame make it look so warm, and he looks incredibly interested.
Is it edited at all, or straight out of the camera?

Great photo! We love a nosey round the museums. Our local one is a shoe one! x
TheBoyAndMe says
A shoe museum?! How incredibly random but also quite fun if it's a bit extreme?

That is brilliant! Is it posed at all or just a fab moment caught deep in thought? And what did the critic make of it?

Beautiful photo. I can't imagine my son standing there like that, more likely charging around at high speed grabbing hold of anything he can!
Five Go Blogging says
I just love the angle of his head! He's really giving that picture serious thought.
Mum2Four says
It really does look like he is about to critique this masterpiece.
I love Monet's work.
