"Out of Water," (Monterey Bay, California), oil, 16"h x 12"w, ©Jill Banks 2015 |
This strip of land has provided inspiration for "Down by the Seashore," "Rocky Shores" and now "Out of Water." Fertile place.
I'm painting in and around Monterey, CA while attending the #PACE15 Plein Air Convention and Expo 2015. "Out of Water" was inspired by watching a demo by C.W. Mundy.
"Out of Water" is on display and for sale with other paintings through Thursday morning, April 16 at the Monterey Convention Center. (Actually, I can't promise that "Out of Water" will be the painting on view until then ... but one of mine will be.
