No. 291: Boudin and Monet in Trouville
Mentor and student and life-long friends Eugène Boudin and Claude Monet captured holidaymakers and the extreme weather on the beaches of Trouville during the late 1800s. Monet honeymooned in the town with his beloved Camille and his snapshot paintings painted en plein air have grains of sand from the windswept beach mixed in.

Just beautiful! I love the fact that the sand got mixed in with the paint – the scenery actually became part of the painting.
Beautiful.
