“With outstanding draftsmanship, Banks’ paintings are at once harmonious and vivacious and, whether portraying his subject in dappled sunlight or in the luminous light of dusk, they are studded with fragments of light that eternally preserve them. His canvases reveal reflective figures as if one were discovering the innermost private moments of his subjects.”

“Your portrait (of our children) is still my favorite of the commissions we had done.”
John Sall, SAS Institute
Co-founder and Executive VP
“Banks’ own works show his technical prowess in characterizing the human figure as well as in a keen sensitivity for recording the evanescent quality of atmosphere and outdoor light. His skillfully wrought canvases mark him not only as a talented craftsman, but as a link in the great chain of naturalist painters.”

"He's one of the best, if not THE best, out-of-door figure painters using natural color. It's important to understand the tradition he comes from, and how very few people are accomplished in that area."

After the unveiling of the portrait, Mr. W. sent me a lovely thank you note, which read:
“Holly, I saw me in oil yesterday for the first time! If the subject of the painting can be a critic—it’s terrific…you nailed it! Thanks for sharing your considerable talent with me and TGH. Thanks to you, I am proud to hang! P.S. The tie is perfect!”
