Flowers from the market

Saturday March 26, 2011 Day 269

Market day again. We bought nuts and olives from our favorite vendor, then went on to the forager for cheese and the boucherie for sausage for dinner. As we entered the market, there was the usual Saturday flower vendor. He had some lovely sunflowers, so as we left, I bought a bouquet of five.

I liked the sunflowers so much that when we got home, I put together a couple of still-life arrangements with them and took photos. You will likely be seeing them in upcoming paintings.

Of course, I painted the sunflowers this afternoon. They turned out pretty well, all things considered. They aren’t Van Gogh, but . . . .
