Monet looked out to the bridge

Before Monet primed a canvas or even set an easel he saw this bridge in his mind. The little creek that ran across the road was just that a little bit of water.

By building a bridge and putting in the pond with water plants he made the painting before it was on his canvas.

When Epcot Center was open Walt Disney had died. A young man with the opening party said, " To bad Mr. Disney didn't see this today."
"Ah, But he did." said his Brother Roy.
"Long before any of us, he had seen Epcot just like this."

I believe Monet was the same. He saw it before any of us.

Keep your vision clear and your brushes wet.
