While in Italy I visited a couple of great farmer’s markets … this vendor had an orange van with lots of colorful awnings and supports to hang linen shirts and trousers … making for a wonderful, graphic display. He set up along a beautiful tree lined walkway, and of course, I had my pastels ready to sketch the scene. It has sold already, but I wanted to share it anyway. I am working on a larger oil from it, which should be ready in late August.
