Another Day on "The Olive Seller"

"The Olive Seller" work in progress, 18"h x 24"w, oil on linen, ©Jill Banks 2011

I'm not done ... but it's getting closer. This is from the Portobello Road Market in London. The crowds were a huge part of the scene and I'm working to convey that. I have quite a bit more to do, really working on edges and getting the glow of the light.

Reception, Friday, July 22 from 7 to pm for "Signs of Summer"
You are invited to the reception for the Artists' Atelier "Signs of Summer" show this coming Friday, July 22, 7-9 pm at 1144 Walker Road, Suite G, Great Falls.  My paintings "Lots of Peppers" and "Yellow Watermelon and Tamarillos" are hanging in the gallery.

And ... as an ongoing reminder:

I'll soon be hanging the second exhibit of these 100 Faces (or 101) at the Artists' Atelier to be on view from August 1-31. You are cordially invited to visit (I'll establish open hours and post those on my web site and here on the blog) and especially invited for the two main events.
