A Painting of Wildflowers "The Misfits"

The Misfits

Watercolor

$95.00

11" x 91/2"

Just north of my home is a small town that has a farmer's market on

Saturday mornings. It folds up about noon. About 11:30, I walked past the

organic vegetable stands and then passed the local honey and

a few hopeful artists. At a particularly busy stand, people

were buying colorful bundles of fresh cut and wild flowers. As the wave of buyers

had walked on, I looked over the selection of about six or so bundles that were left.

Actually, I found I was more interested in the flowers and weeds that had been

left sitting behind the table. The girls looked a little bewildered

as I asked them to "grab me up a handful

of some those flowers back there"

(Meanwhile another wave of buyers were getting the rest of the already bundled flowers.) Walking away with the tall lanky coneflowers

with oddly shaped petals and a few weeds wrapped in paper and plastic,

I was already painting them in my head.
