I have traveled a lot and there is one thing I always love to do no matter where I am - visit a farmers market.
Farmers Markets are so universal across generations and cultures. If you are in a large city like Paris or New York City, are in a small rural village or beach town, you can always find a farmers market to visit. It's such a familiar experience...
vendors displaying their goods
locals picking out produce for dinner
neighbors greeting neighbors
Many artists have painted farmers markets. I have often photographed them but have yet to paint one. It's on my paintings to do list.
Here are some farmers market paintings to inspire you. What is your creative version?
