Happy Halloween and Last Day to See "Farm to Table"

"Apples and the White Gourd," oil, 12"h x 24"w, ©2017 Jill Banks

I've painted plenty of pumpkins and gourds over the years -- but "Apples and the White Gourd" is my latest off the easel, started and well on its way during a "demo" given during a gathering of the Great Falls Friends Network last Wednesday.  That white gourd offered a bit of calm in a riot of color.

If you are in the DC area and have a chance, October 31 is the last day to catch my solo show "Farm to Table" at the Old Brogue Irish Pub -- Katie's Coffee/Snuggery side -- at 760 Walker Road, Great Falls, VA.  I've loved having these pieces there. Hope some of you have too.

Next up ... First Friday Art Walk in the Village, Friday November 3, 6-8pm at many venues including the Artists' Atelier at 756 Walker Road, Great Falls, VA 22066.  Start there if you'd like and we'll guide you to those other spots. I'll be there for a change!!!!! In the gallery you'll find the Faculty exhibit which is bound to be a great show.  (It goes up this Thursday -- just in time.)

For more info on First Fridays:
First Fridays Art Walk in the Village (Village Centre in Great Falls, VA - corner of Walker Road and Georgetown Pike) -- May to December 2017
6-8pm
