"Jill Banks: Out & About" Exhibit Goes Up Tomorrow

Tomorrow afternoon, Randy and I hang my "Out & About" Exhibit at Katie's Coffee at the Old Brogue. Two vehicles are loaded up with paintings in a room that can hold a maximum of twelve pieces... so we have way too many and I'll be editing in the afternoon.

For the last year, post my "100 Faces in 100 Days" project that ended April 10, 2011 -- I've been open to trying new things ... like painting plein air (even with heat, bugs, challenges), putting up my easel to paint at the farm, asking to paint my Dad's poker club, accepting invitations to paint in different places and outside my comfort zone. Each challenge has brought with it new inspiration. It's more fun to paint today ... than ever.

Stories from the journey. The excitement of trying new things. The experience of being in a particular place that specific day. That's what "Out & About" is about. I hope you'll come take a look.

You're Invited!
