The story

Monet's back in Normandy, the same coastline that made him famous. The ocean, the cliffs, the crowded promenade along the beach. But some days, even that's too much.

The canvas gets heavy. The oil paint too slow. The whole setup too loud.

So he leaves it behind and walks inland, into the Norman countryside, carrying nothing but a box of pastels. This is what he found there. A break from the break.
