Farmers Market artist date

Jane LaFazio here. For me, an artist date often means a destination for inspiration. I am always inspired by a farmer's market. I love going to our local market, wandering the stalls, photographing beautiful fruits and veggies, drinking  coffee, chatting with the vendors and buying some thing yummy.

This trip, to the market, I selected some tulips, all still in their buds. I was going to draw them each day, illustrating the opening of the bud, day by day. Well...by the time I got to them, they were all open.
