Monet paints his La Creuse valley series.

Lilla Cabot Perry, inspired by what she had seen of Monet's works at Galerie Gorges Petit, has resolved to learn more from the artist and for the summer moves her family to Giverny where Monet lives and paints.

Here, Perry's work undergoes a radical transformation as she incorporates painting techniques learned from Monet into her art for the first time.

Monet, who becomes her friend and mentor, suggests that she commit her first impression of a scene to canvas rather than to sketchbook.
