Farmer's Market

"Farmer's Market"  8 x 10" acrylic study

Here's an example of letting go of your preconceived notion of subject matter.

One hot spring day, I was painting in the back yard of a friend, along with a few other devoted watercolorists.

This simple motif was just an umbrella on the other side of the cedar fence in the next neighbor's yard.  

I sketched the umbrella and fence and thought little about it until I decided to paint it.  As I worked  on the design, I added the flowers in the foreground, and a tree in the background to emphasize the umbrella, but the painting had no meaning, until I added the market vendors. 
​
The fence became a booth with produce on top, and the flowers created a park.

​Voila! a farmer's market.
