The Farmers Market

Every Saturday, from 9:30AM to 1:00PM, there's the Greenwich Outdoor Farmers Market at a parking lot off Exit 3 of Interstate 95 Highway. I haven't been to this farmers market in a long time but it would be a nice place to sketch today.  

A parking spot closest to the vendor's stall was just perfect for me.  I know that that supply truck will not move for a while so it became my reference measurement for the scene.  Lines marked with a pencil before adding a watercolor wash.

I must have spent more than an hour and a half in my car.  Once I finished, I walked over to the side of the truck to identify the vendor.  The sign says Riverbank Farm, Roxbury, CT.  The crew were preparing to close up shop.  

"I just want to show you your truck is here" I said to the cashier, pointing to my sketch of his truck.

"Oh, Cool! Is that from today?" he asked with a smile.

"Yes, it is." and then we went on our separate ways.

As I walk back toward the car, my brain just recalled something.  I forgot about my 1:00PM yoga class!  Too late now.  Oh, well....

    1. Thank you, Joan. I didn't know how it would turn out but I guess the safety cones added a leading path toward the truck and the parked car beyond. As always, thanks for visiting.
