Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son 1875 Oil on canvas - The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
Today's artist is French Painter Claude Monet 1840-1926 specifically the painting Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son. I picked this piece today simply because it's sunny this morning and it helps. 
from theartstory.com
"Quite uniquely, Monet paints into the light letting the model's features fade into the shadow. Most artists would avoid such a positioning of their subject as it is difficult to reproduce any detail - and even to look at your subject. But Monet is interested in light itself, and captures it in the scene in an unmatched way."

"The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
