“I was hard at work beneath the cliff, well sheltered from the wind… convinced that the tide was drawing out I took no notice of the waves which came and fell a few feet away from me. In short, absorbed as I was, I didn’t see a huge wave coming; it threw me against the cliff and I was tossed about in its wake along with all my materials!”
These words from Claude Monet speak to all plein air artists that experience painting the delightfully fickle sea.
