Description
Who painted all these flowers? the frog wondered, blinking up from the water. He had lived in the pond his whole life and had never noticed anyone, only the occasional shadow of a straw hat on the bank. But the lilies were certainly lovelier lately, blooms floating like small lanterns on the still surface, and he had chosen the finest pad of all to sit on. If anyone was going to be painted into a masterpiece, he reasoned, it might as well be him.
Here a frog has made himself at home among Monet’s water lilies, a playful twist on the Impressionist master’s famous pond. The low, flat form feels like a corner of the water itself. It suits an art lover with a sense of humor, a frog collector, or a garden enthusiast who dreams of Giverny, and it rests beautifully on a coffee table beside a book of paintings, waiting for a guest to notice the uninvited visitor in the masterpiece.
