| "Painted Ladies," oil, 12"h x 16"w, ©Jill Banks 2015 -- available for purchase through the Wayne Art Center (Wayne, PA) through June 27, 2015 |
"Painted Ladies" was created Saturday morning, the last official painting day of Wayne Plein Air 2015. By then I had a history with both of these houses and their owners. Hopefully, my future posts will reveal that. Otherwise, this would be like a bad novel, moving forward in time and forgetting to backtrack.
Painting affords me the luxury, privilege of learning all the time. So many lessons, many from just the day before went into this one. I love it. It's also not in the main gallery at the Wayne Center, due to when it was turned in ... but if you go there, this one is definitely worth seeking out. Right?
There are lots of art events coming up ... right around the corner and I don't want you to miss out. If you are a painter, sign up for Paint Great Falls (see below for details). If you are a collector, May 30 & 31 in Great Falls, VA is the weekend for you. I'll be under a tent with 20 other artists in the Village Centre. More of my work is in the gallery and my studio a stone throw away. And, I'll be participating in the Quick Draw right there on Sunday morning, 10am to noon -- where you can watch the work develop. Please email me jill@jillbanks.comjill@jillbanks.com if you need info. Sign up for my newsletter on my website for the next issue (tomorrow?).
