The oil painting,
"Market Day"
was inspired by the
incredible colors of
a late summer
farmer's market in
Traverse City.
My friend Vivian and I were on our way home after spending the last couple of days with artist friends painting "en plein air" on Mission Point. I just love this area. Lake Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay, Leelanau and all the Cherry Orchards and vineyards never fail to inspire me. The farmer's market was our last stop and a fitting finale to a successful weekend. It was a joyous experience selecting fresh produce, beautiful plants and anything else we could fit in our car with all our art supplies, wet paintings and other stuff like clothing.
"Market Day" is a result of that experience. It has won two awards and has been selected to be included in Chris Unwin's "The Artistic Touch 4" soon to be released.
