Very Fast Food

"Platicando" 16x20 in. oil on canvas
This is a picture of one of the vendors and amiga over near the San Juan de Dios church. She's waiting for the kids to get out of the school next door to the church and she'll sell them a bunch of stuff that is actually pretty bad for them. However, the ninos love the stuff and she, her set up and friends contribute  much appreciated color and charm to the scene. No, it's not a plein air study but it came to life owing to the fact that the camera was at hand on one of our Monday morning outings. The tasteful table cloth and the pea green cart wheel simply blow me away .....................

    1. Thanks Les - I hope you're finding some time to paint these days too and we hope to see you back on the cobbled streets of S.M.A. soon.

  2. Remember when we painted in front of the San Juan de Dios Church and all the venders and their carts disappeared just as we began to paint them! Donna

  4. Yeah, I remember. - People are so insensitive as to the needs of the painting public!
