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...

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?
I have heard so many people in Mexico say "I am living my dreams." I have never been so grateful on a daily basis than I am now. In my NOB life, my dreams often got buried under my To Do list. There was always paper work, and bills and taxes. Even good things in life seemed to create additions to that ever growing list of things that had to get done. And for those days when the ugly things took over the To Do list... I created a playlist of songs to help me remember to put a star next to the items that give me the most joy.
