Weekly Painting #7 - Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Another painting for the weekend. It's raining like crazy here. I was getting spoiled with the warmer temps and it's back to rain now. Not complaining though. We need every inch we can get, to get out of this California drought. I was taking a quick walk during lunch last week in SFO and caught this scene when Farmers market was in full swing at the Ferry building. It was quite a sunny day with clear blue sky. I envisioned a painting right there with bright blue sky with the Ferry building and the cooler shadows from the palms. For a small sized painting, this took little longer than I expected but I am quite happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it :)

Hello Sunshine !!

Sunshine err Sunflowers everywhere.. How can any artist resist painting them ? During my lunch run to SFO Ferry building few weeks ago, farmers market was in full swing and I saw this gorgeous sunflower bunch sitting on a table. Clicked it on my iphone thinking it will make a good reference someday.

After a particularly stressful week at work, I needed some cheering up and chose to paint this today. I didn't want to get bogged down by details. Decided to keep it loose and have fun with it. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it too :)
