Jill Banks Art Ltd.

A love of flowers ... and flower sellers came naturally ... with my parents owning a flower shop before I was born and my grandmother owning one in my youth. We always had blooms in our home and I enjoy keeping that tradition alive. This is a studio piece depicting whatever your favorite flower market is ... anywhere. This piece is in the Plein Air & Studio Landscapes Collection on my website under Artwork. The price is $7650 including a gallery quality frame. Sales taxes may be additional. Shipping in the continental US is free.

"City of Lights" is based on a similar, smaller piece I painted plein air with my head hanging out the window of the airbnb we rented in Paris last year. I had searched for two weeks before selecting the apartment that provided a neighborhood to enjoy and the best view available for a painting. This one won, looking down on Rue Montorgueil --- a market street in Paris. After painting the first version on a rare rainy day, we visited the Musee d'Orsay and specifically the French Impressionist Collection there. To my surprise, I realized Claude Monet had painted "my" street from about the same perspective. Very cool. "City of Lights" is in the French Paintings Collection on my website under Artwork. The price is $7350 including a gallery quality frame. Sales taxes may be additional. Shipping in the continental US is free.

"Last Lavender" was painted plein air during my July trip to the South of France. I had painted in a lavender field in Valensole five days prior when the fields were full and plentiful. This day, we couldn't find any which still had purple blooms ... until after we had essentially given up and found this one. As I was finishing painting it, the trucks rolled in to harvest it and one by one, each row turned green. It is in the French Paintings Collection on my website under Artwork. The price is $4500 including a gallery quality frame. Sales taxes may be additional. Shipping in the continental US is free.

Painted plein air in the Tuileries garden in Paris in the summer of 2022 while on my annual personal painting trip overseas. It is in the French Paintings Collection on my website under Artwork. The price is $3050 including a gallery quality frame. Sales taxes may be additional. Shipping in the continental US is free.

I painted "This Is Bliss" plein air in Key West, while standing at my easel with feet in the water. The title was appropriate. Perfect day and place to be. "This Is Bliss" was a finalist in the BoldBrush June 2023 Painting Competition -- a contest that receives thousands of entries. It is in the Plein Air and Studio Landscapes Collection on my website under Artwork. The price is $3350 including a gallery quality frame. Sales taxes may be additional. Shipping in the continental US is free. Clicking on the image in the slideshow at the top of my home page will take you directly to this piece on my site. www.JillBanks.com
