Monet paints a day

Recalls a working day in the life of Impressionist painter Claude Monet, when, so absorbed in his attempts to paint a rock formation on the French seashore, he didn't notice the tide coming in and was doused by a large wave, losing his canvas and paints in the process!

I, Claude Monet, Impressionist painter, step out of the Hotel Blanquet ready to paint the day.             Winter sunlight pours through the sparkling morning mist, and a gaggle of children wait for me, anxious to carry my half-finished paintings. Like a string of ducklings, they follow me, toting my canvases while I carry my paint box and palette.
