Peninsula Plein Air | Sunlit Sites

September 25, 2009 - January 4, 2010


Jim Edkins presents his Peninsula Plein Air, a collection of oil paintings that capture the chaotic structure of ocean and rock, motion and geometry, river and force.  He paints the energy and raw power of the Central Coast from a different perspective.
