Impressionism

The story

Monet was an absolutist of plein air painting. No studio, ever. You want to paint something? Take your gear, get there, and paint it. But Normandy in February has its own rules. When the wind blows over 50 mph, nobody paints outside. Not even Monet. So he painted this one from behind the window of his room at the Hotel Blanquet. Last rule: nature's.
