| "Back Story," oil, 40"h x 30"w, ©2016 Jill Banks |
As I mull over my plans -- artistically, art business, life in general -- for 2016, this is what was on my easel. (Thinking and painting do go together -- particularly when you're thinking about painting.)
The title for my first painting of 2016 is inspired by conversations with two writers at a wonderful New Year's Eve party I was happy to attend.
What struck me is the interesting way artists of different ilks observe and participate in life. Their view of movies and life focuses on the story line. My view ... is the cinematography, the play of light and shadows and movement in and out of the theatre.
Classes Start Soon
I am still hoping that more students enroll in my Tuesday Evening Paint class that starts on January 12. (We need you!) Classes are taught at the Great Falls School of Art in Great Falls, VA. See below for links to classes.
