Fenendael’s Florals Bloom in Monet’s French Village

Ed Fenendael grew up surrounded by art and music. Nurtured by his creative mother, the artist as a young boy recalls memories of “a freshly sharpened pencil or the scent of a new box of crayons.” Today, the circle has been completed and Fenendael, who resides in the Township of Egg Harbor, is an acclaimed watercolorist whose works are exhibited throughout the United States.

The icing on the proverbial cake is representation in Giverny, France, the site of renowned artist Claude Monet’s home and gardens. The setting could not be more appropriate for an artist whose watercolor paintings are alive with spontaneity.

“To exhibit in France – and most especially in Monet’s village – is a dream come true,” said Fenendael. “I never thought this would actually happen. I couldn’t be more pleased. More than 5,000 visitors tour the gardens daily, and now they will have an opportunity to view my work. It’s a gift.”

Fenendael’s watercolors are on exhibit in Atelier Galerie Letoliacha, Giverny, France, through October 31. His work is also exhibited at the Watergate Gallery in Washington, D.C.

The artist’s gallery, Morning Mist Studio, is located at Windmill Farm, 3829 Fairview Road, Baileys Harbor and is open to the public Friday through Sunday, May 15 – October 15.
