While in Monterey, California for the 55th Monterey Jazz Festival, Tony Bennett took some time to paint the beautiful Pacific Coast:
Monterey – my favorite spot in the world to paint. Wherever I look there's a gorgeous subject. pic.twitter.com/bh63k7qf

Looks like a lovely day and a lovely painting.
Anthony Benedetto has three paintings hanging in the Smithsonian. His portraits of Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald hang in the National Portrait Gallery. This painting, Central Park, hangs at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in the Renwick Gallery.
A New Yorker at his core, Mr. Benedetto has created many lovely paintings of scenes from Central Park. This oil painting was created in 1998. You can read more about this painting here.
