JILL BANKS HEAD CHEF

20” x 20” — Oil $3,950

While witnessing the wonders of childhood as a grandparent, although my paintbrush was stowed away, my artist brain was envisioning this painting. It was a story to be told. Modeling dough was well used for a variety of increasingly odd colored “desserts” we all had to try. I wasn’t a painter when my kids were small. What joy it is to be able to re-live, re-witness and capture that magic now.
