Jill Banks, “Seine Serenade,” 30 x 30 inches, oil on linen, is available in the French Paintings Collection on her website, www.jillbanks.com, and at her studio the Artists’ Atelier in Great Falls VA November 6 and 7th. “While painting a different piece of the sunset in Paris on this bridge in 2025, the street lamps lit up to dance with the sky colors. I knew then that this painting would follow.”

Jill Banks:

“I capture life’s magic to share it with you.”

American Impressionist artist Jill Banks travels and paints – spending her days painting directly from life. “I travel everywhere with my easel, setting it up in markets, on busy streets, in cafés, or wherever people gather. Standing there for hours, I absorb my surroundings. What it FEELS like transfers to the canvas. We’re transported together to this magical place. Luckily for us, we never have to leave.”
