It's hard to seriously consider Jill Neal's pictures art. As printed images on coffee cups and greeting cards and wine labels and tote bags they are witty, joyful, delightful, inventive and just a heck of a lot of fun. But serious art they're not.

In celebration of International Women's Month B2 Gallery is hosting a show of Neal's women. They have the mugs and the cards and tote bags, and even Neal's own wine labels. Plus a lot of her original artwork, mostly watercolors.

Neal celebrates women in all their exuberant glory, and she paints them in every conceivable place and situation - always the same woman, whether it's a single figure or a dozen of her. She's big and boisterous. You can almost hear her shouting for joy from within the silent confines of a watercolor painting. She has big red lips and a mouth full of blindingly white teeth. She has a Gaston LaChaise figure (if you do not get the reference Google LaChaise; you owe it to yourself). Her breasts are big; her hips and buttocks are gigantic, her arms and legs taper to elegant points; and often as not she is pictured either in fun costumes or naked as the day she was born - totally flaunting her voluptuous femininity, unabashedly naked but not salacious.
