Post Plein Air

"Ice Cold Lemonade" from Frederick, MD, oil on linen-lined panel, 12"h x 16"w, ©Jill Banks 2013

I returned to two pieces first painted plein air. One is from the Quick Draw for Easels in Frederick of an ice cream parlor on the corner. When I first painted it, the store was closed ... which meant the bear statue that attracted me was locked inside.

"St. Michael's Boathouse" from the Maritime Museum, oil, 12"h x 16"w, ©Jill Banks 2013

The second is from the boathouse at St. Michael's Maritime Museum. Already liking this piece, I did more tweaking and refining -- less repainting.

Both may be destined for Artomatic@Frederick which Randy and I will be installing on Saturday.

Some framing is ahead.

Tomorrow (Friday, August 30) is the last day to see "Serendipity" -- my solo show at the Great Falls Library, 9830 Georgetown Pike, Great Falls, VA. Get more info from my web site's Events page.
