He felt every day was fleeting until he looked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;As we crossed the Colorado-Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold sunburning clouds above the desert that seemed to point a finger at me and say, &#8216;Pass here and go on, you&#8217;re on the road to heaven.'&#8221;<\/strong> Jack Kerouac, On the Road (New York:  Penguin Books, 1999), 171.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Beauty and meaning are outside every day if we look.

He painted it <em>en plein air<\/em> in oil on canvas in 1876.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monets-studio-boat-880x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Enchanted Studio Boat\" class=\"wp-image-14962\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monets-studio-boat-880x1024.jpg 880w, https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monets-studio-boat-258x300.jpg 258w, https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monets-studio-boat-768x894.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monets-studio-boat.jpg 1031w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-3-enchantment-despite-suffering\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">#3<\/mark><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Enchantment despite suffering<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The remarkable part of this story is Monet&#8217;s determined creativity despite financial hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his inspiring studio, Monet was financially strained and forced to seek help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Here I am again without a soul,&#8221; he wrote to his friend Edouard Manet.  He asked to borrow fifty francs one day and twenty francs another.  &#8220;I have got into the hands of a bailiff who can cause me a lot of trouble. He has given me until midday.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manet came to his aid, as he often did. Antonin Proust says that Edouard promoted his friend&#8217;s paintings at exhibitions by placing canvases &#8220;in a good light,&#8221; and aggressively finding buyers for them, and not worrying about his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claude Monet&#8217;s paintings enjoyed Manet&#8217;s special attention at these events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edouard Manet captured the essence of his friend&#8217;s creative beauty when he painted Monet working on his studio boat. It was one of Manet&#8217;s favorite works, which he called Monet in His Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/monet-painting-in-his-studio-boat.jpg\" alt=\"Studio Boat Monet enchantment\" class=\"wp-image-14953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/monet-painting-in-his-studio-boat.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/monet-painting-in-his-studio-boat-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/monet-painting-in-his-studio-boat-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Claude Monet painting his wife on his studio boat\/1874 by Edouard Manet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-three-small-steps-to-enchantment\">Three small steps to enchantment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/how-you-know-god-is-a-fisherman\/\">outside<\/a> every day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up your creative space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do your work every day, even when suffering<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>What would you add for more <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.steveblaising.com\/content\/grab-3-treats-for-a-magical-life\/\">enchantment<\/a>?<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enchanted means living wondrously even when suffering.
