Today is Show and Tell at the Kickin’ It Old Skool! I remember my dog, Socks, coming to school when I was a kid, and I wish I could show you him! Black, white, and brown, very fuzzy and cute.
Instead, here’s some of my painting. I have a thing for Claude Monet, and when I started painting, I began by making my own renditions of some of his. Not that I have a clue how to make mine sparkle like he did. He was so brilliant.
Here’s one:
My rendition of Monet’s The Seine at Argenteuil, Autumn 1873
And here’s another:
My rendition of Monet’s Haystacks at Sunset, 1889
The bottom one was my first ever painting as an adult, and it’s still my favorite, though most people prefer the top one.
And because they’re too gorgeous not to share, here are Monet’s originals:
Monet’s The Seine at Argenteuil, Autumn 1873

Beautiful paintings, I can tell you enjoyed painting your own.
Kelly these are beautiful! You’ve captured the essence of Monet!
What LOVELY paintings Kelly! THANKS so much for sharing them with us!
Lovely!
I like the tree on the left in your first painting. The colors are very realistic.
What lovely paintings, Kelly! Very cool to be able to work from such inspirations.
I find water reflections difficult to paint. Well done! And what a good idea to learn by copying a master.
How beautiful, Kelly! And what a joy to discover something new about you – painting!
I had no idea you paint! The reflections on the water are amazing on the first painting!
Thank you to everyone for your very kind words! <3
Kelly, your paintings are beautiful. Monet is also a favorite of mine. You have captured his work beautifully. I am so glad that you shared your work. It is really lovely.
Wow! Those are beautiful! I especially like the first one with the trees and the water. The reflection and ripples are stunning. As someone who doesn’t paint (but would kind of like to try), I am in awe of how you can bring so much life to two dimensions. Lovely.
Lovely paintings!
