Painting - 2nd To Last Farmers Market

It was really fun at the market last Thursday. Even though it rained which it wasn't supposed to do we set up on the stage area. I was surprised at how many people still tried to step over all my gear and try to get onto the stage. This time though many were coming to see what we were painting. If they are squeezing by just to get somewhere else I got annoyed.
 Met several new people though and it was all good. We had quite a few people come up, maybe they were getting out of the rain also.

My thought was to be above the piece looking partially down on the objects. Being up on the stage with the setup I figured this was going to be more the case so I didn't take my heavy little patio table. I thought a clear plastic bag of apples with some pouring out would be a simple enough setup. Not so, and the clear bag was very tricky to paint. But I did enjoy the challenge of seeing the difference between the apples out of the bag and the apples partially obscured in the bag. An interesting challenge with the edges and the greys. Being a cloudy day I picked a bag with some variety of ripeness and a couple had some nice yellow green and yellow reds to them. This reminded me of wanting to try subjects like this before but I never got to them. I think this would make an interesting series for the winter months. The local produce store just across the street would keep me challenged for quite awhile.
