Farmer's Market
One summer day, as I was strolling through the local farmer's market, I stopped at one booth all the way at the end and found these beautiful purple peppers. They were gorgeous! Next to them were these small, deep purple hued eggplants. What a find! A painting concept was born. I bought some peppers, eggplants, and scallions and could not wait to get home.
Everytime I look at this painting, I am reminded of that day at the Texas Corners Farmer's Market. It transports me to the image of me painting on my enclosed porch. There I am: enjoying two of my favorite things: summer and painting.
Funny how the pepper that started it all is way in the back of the composition. It holds the painting together. Sometimes, we are that pepper: we sit in the background, helping others, keeping it all together.
Love the painting and your description of the day at the market! Your dynamic ending left my mouth hanging open. I want to be a purple pepper. Please, please God, make me a purple pepper!!
