Art in the Bar

I’m going to have my work in this show at the end of the month. How fun is that!?

This is one of the first paintings I did after my break from painting (because my kids were little and I couldn’t do everything). It’s still one of my favorites. It’s my daughters little white silk baptism dress. It’s clearly inspired by one of my favorite artists, Wayne Thibaud. I love the way Thibaud laysContinue reading “Dress”

I just created a Jill Millard Artwork Facebook page. Come follow along! I may have set it up correctly. And… I am having this Winter Tree painting framed so I can donate it to my sons high school action fundraiser. It was had to choose which painting to donate. So I had a friendContinue reading “Facebook”
