                                                          Claude Monet
   Today I'm going to tell you about a man named Claude Monet.  This man was one of the world's greatest artist. He made over sixty-nine paintings.  It must have took him a long time just to complete one picture. His paintings were so beautiful to look at because of the colors.  He made his first painting in 1868  in Paris Fracne where he was born.  Claude Monet had a real enjoyment of art even as a child. 

   As you all ready now he was born Paris France.  He was born on November the 14 in 1840. The house that he lived in was so wounderful that it look like a hotel.  It had pond with so many fish, a huge graned, and so much more. His father wanted him to work in the family business.  Monet left the money behind and focused on being an artist.  He went from his family's money to living in poverty.  Well now you know about his childhood and his love for painting but on December the 5th the year 1926 was a day when Claude Monet stop doing painting for ever.

Before Claude Monet died, he left a lot of paintings.  He is known as the father of impressionism.  This is style of painting where the painting looks like what the eye sees.  Today Claude Monet's paintings sell for millions of dollars.
