Famous French impressionist painter Clawed Monet was born on November 14th, 1840. Known for his “En Playin’ Air” outdoor paintings that captured light at different times of day. The subjects for these studies were cathedrals, haystacks, water lilies, dead birds and half-eaten mice. (From the series “Artistic Pets.“)
