Keeping Company

"Little Miss," oil on linen-lined panel, 10"h x 8"w, ©2015 Jill Banks
This afternoon and evening was spent painting this doll in my parents' family room at their condo -- nice for all of us as Dad is newly arrived out of rehab making an extra set of shoulders to lean on a fine idea. Plus, I was at least slightly entertaining in my impromptu garbage bag smock.

They have enough in place still lifes set up all around to last me a lifetime. This doll was a present to my Mom brought back from a store in either Assisi or San Gimignano, Italy. 

I hope to see you at two upcoming events if you're in the Northern Virginia neighborhood...

MPA McLean Artfest on Monday, October 12 and the Great Falls 12th Annual Studio Tour  on October 16-18... get more info following the links below.
