"Payton in Purple," oil, 20"h x 16"w, ©Jill Banks 2015 |
Each moment at my easel brings me back to a place, or an experience. I relive all the fun. Decide where I'm "traveling" to for the day. Demo day at ArtSpace was fantastic -- with the treat of a wonderful model, happy audience, loads of fun. That's what I thought about while making this painting just what I wanted it to be.
I'll be sending out a newsletter (subscribe here) today (Friday, February 13) -- one more urging to catch "Warm Observations: People and Places" before it closes on February 22. But -- you can take the hint now.
