"The Water Tester" Plein Air Landscape at MacAbee Beach

"The Water Tester," oil, 12"h x 24"w, ©2016 Jill Banks

Someone has to do it.  This young girl was the first in her family to step foot in the sea yesterday. The whole day painting in and around Monterey Bay, California was gorgeous ... although a little windy and cold.  I had to thaw out a couple of times painting "The Water Tester." Worth it.

Now it's time to get out there and capture the day.

Thank you for reading!
