"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.
