She stood in many of the exact locations they stood and painted, seeing the French landscape from their point of view, finding inspiration from the same beautiful light and colors that inspired these two artistic pioneers. Scroll down to see the story behind a few of Erin's newest France-inspired works. In the late 1800s, Monet settled in Giverny, a quaint village between Paris and the French coast. Over time, he meticulously designed and cultivated his gardens, which were not only an extension of Monet's artistic vision but also a source of endless inspiration. He carefully curated every aspect of the landscape, from the arrangement of flowers in vibrant colors to the serene water lily pond adorned with a Japanese bridge. Monet's Bridge Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 50 x 70 inches 2024 "This painting immerses you into the green and blue hues of Giverny, capturing the iconic view of Monet's green bridge and his expansive water lily garden. I spent two days in Giverny to capture Monet's garden in different lighting and times of the day. This painting celebrates the inspiration that Monet has always given me." ~ Erin Hanson [MONET'S BRIDGE by ERIN HANSON]( Claude Monet The Japanese Footbridge, 1899 This piece is located at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Erin then traveled to the cliffs of Etretat and stood in the very spot where Monet painted "Cliffs on the Porte d'Aval" in 1885. "Sunset at Etretat" Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 40 x 60 in 2024 [SUNSET at ETRETAT]( Claude Monet, Cliffs Of The Porte d’Aval, 1885 Erin continued her journey with a visit to the south of France, where she experienced the ancient olive trees that seemed to embody the vibrant colors and depth seen in van Gogh's iconic olive tree paintings. "Olive Trees at Arles" Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 24 x 30 in 2024 "When I visited Arles to see van Gogh's stomping grounds, I went to as many olive groves as I could. I found several very old groves -- one boasted several 'centennial' trees over one hundred years old. I was inspired by their gnarled branches and unique coloring, just as van Gogh was." ~ Erin Hanson [OLIVE TREES at ARLES]( Vincent van Gogh, Olive Trees, 1889 from place to p a i n t i n g (above) Erin Hanson in the Musèe l'Orangerie, Paris.
