I am fascinated by Impressionism, and Claud Monet is the one that holds my attention through and through. I went on a road trip to France chasing all the places where impressionists lived and worked. It was September, and so I got a chance to see Monets garden in autumn. Later, while doing research on Monets work, I realised he never painted his pond in autumn. So to live through the experience of doing impressionistic work, I painted Claud Monets garden in autumn.

Each stroke is chaotic on its own a bit vagabondish - if that is a word. But put together, all these strokes come together to make a whole picture which was a delight to paint.

The very first painting of this series is owned by a family in Los Angeles who later gave me a commission to do a vase with roses, and the collector met me here in Chicago to pick up the vase painting.
