Days at the Atelier

"Geraniums," oil, 16"h x 20"w, ©2018 Jill Banks -- has plenty of company in my studio at the Artists' Atelier in Great Falls VA. Come see Sunday evening (7/29), Wednesday (8/1) or for the First Friday Art Walk (8/3)
My studio space at the Artists' Atelier at 756 Walker Road, Great Falls VA 22066 is overflowing with art ... and I hope you'll come check it out for yourself on one of the three days this week that I'll be there.

Sunday, July 29, 5 to 8:30pm.  Now there is supposed to be a Concert on the Green from 6-8pm each Sunday if the weather cooperates.  You can visit regardless as I will be at the Atelier but hopefully, there will be some musical entertainment that night, too.  Bring chairs and a picnic and check out the Celebrate Great Falls website for the concert schedule and for last minute info.

Wednesday, August 1, noon to 4pm

Friday, August 3, 6-8pm: First Friday Art Walk in the Village. Come enjoy a night out on the town.  More info here.

"Friday Night Lights," oil, 12"h x 24"w, ©2018 Jill Banks - won the President's Award in the Falls Church "Scenes of the City" Plein Air Competition

Come see "City Sparkle" at the studio.  This week I changed this favorite painting for a reason. That was daunting and a bit crazy but I now love it more than ever.  Think you will too.

Check out most of the paintings from Telluride -- sold and available here.



My Fall classes are up on my website and open for registration - See Classes

I'm also the judge for the ArtSpace Herndon Portrait Expressions Competition and Exhibition -- Learn more and register here by September 1 by 5pm.


Short post ... but hope to see you!
