"View to the Sea" Yesterday and Today

"View to the Sea," oil, 20"h x 16"w, copyright Jill Banks 2012
This is the view out from the condo (that my parents once owned and now rent for the winter months) balcony in Hilton Head, SC. Beautiful, isn't it?

We're heading off to lunch and a trip to Beaufort for tonight's Art Walk ... in just a few minutes. So, a quick post and a painting and there will be more on the rest of today's escapades tomorrow.

A note, though ... we'll be meeting up with my 100 Faces volunteers who traveled the farthest for my project last year: Jerry Stocks, her daughter Ivie and grandsons, Spencer and Sandor. They live in Beaufort and made the trek up to the DC area (my home) in 2011 ... to sit for me as part of their Spring Break adventure. Can't wait to see them again!
