Flower Markets

Flower markets make me smile and I cannot resist photographing and painting them. One of my favorite things to do early on Saturday mornings is to wander through rows of fresh picked flowers and produce at our local flower markets looking for the perfect painterly bouquet of flowers to take home to arrange. The sights and heady scent of the flowers in the morning sun inspire me to paint the charming market scenes in California, as well as in Paris and Provence.
