Home Studio Open House ... Continued

"Geraniums," oil, 8"h x 5.5"w, ©2014 Jill Banks. Painted plein air in La Morra, Italy -- as I was "toning" my painting muscles in this beautiful spot before students arrived for my Paint with Me in Italy workshop. "Geraniums" has gone to just the right owner -- someone who appreciated them there in La Morra.

See yesterday's post for photos of four of the paintings off to new homes following Sunday's Home Studio Open House.
