Men with Flowers

"Men with Flowers"  18" x 24"  $750 Framed  

Opening day, May 4 at the Redmond Farmer's Market was such a beautiful spring day! The vendors were all happy to be there, the Redmond High School Band played, and the atmosphere was so festive!

The flower sellers had buckets and buckets of such beautiful tulips! I took a ton of photos, but this image really captured my imagination. The spring morning light raking across the tulips was lovely, and it was so charming how these handsome guys were hard at work arranging bunches of flowers to sell. Maybe I just have a soft spot for men bearing flowers. :)

Several people have asked why leave the pick up truck in there so prominently? The pick up is such a perfectly masculine icon! I think it reinforces the contrast of the manly men and the delicate flowers. Plus the dark blue with the glowing yellow light is just delicious!

I hope you enjoy my painting!
