"The Gin Game" Painting of Mom & Dad: Day 4

"The Gin Game" work in progress day #4, oil, 30"h x 40"w, ©Jill Banks 2011

The artist (me) and my mom & dad continued playing and painting ... right up to the wire. It's time to put down the brushes at least until 2012. My cousin's son is getting married on New Year's Eve so it's to the wedding we go.

I may be back again tomorrow with New Year's resolutions and a look back to a pretty extraordinary 2011.

We shall see.

Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement in 2011 ... and for viewing my art! I'm grateful!
