My favorite among those 10 was a Monet winter scene (&#8220;The Magpie&#8221;, shown above) from an artist more-usually known for lily ponds and verdant flower gardens.<\/p>\n<p>I like Monet, and thought I was somewhat familiar with his paintings. But not nearly enough, it turns out. Here&#8217;s a website that purports to present <a href=\"http:\/\/www.claudemonetgallery.org\/\">Monet&#8217;s complete works<\/a>. A nice stroll through an on-line gallery, if you&#8217;ve the inclination to do that.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been fun watching images of winter (and all the seasons) in<a href=\"http:\/\/www.northcountrypublicradio.org\/todaysphoto.html\"> NCPR&#8217;s photo of the day<\/a> too. That site does organize by some categories and seasons, such as &#8220;Winter 2012-13&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a favorite painting or work of art that depicts winter? Something I really enjoy about winter is how rapidly things can change. At times my favorite winter scene is what&#8217;s out the window right now. Except when contemplating the mountains of snow making troublesome ice dams on our roof! Then my thoughts are far less sanguine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BBC just ran an item called &#8220;How great artists depict winter in 10 sublime [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[21,13982,25,27],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7974"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7974"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8112,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7974\/revisions\/8112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
