We were going to go to a fishing pier on the fourth day, however Tony discovered they were setting up a farmer's market down at the landing. So, we all headed down there, supplies in tow, to see what we could do. Now painting outside is one challenge, but painting the ever moving people and mass confusion of a market scene is a much greater one. The market was going to be over at noon. Never having painted this type of subject before, I just stuck to pattern and value sketches.

I thought my attempts looked pretty awful, but a cute young girl came and parked herself at my side the whole time I painted. She kept telling me how marvelous they were. I think she was an angel. Anyway, they've been added to the Tabernacle Township Collection. (As in trash collection.) I often joke that the township collects my work!

Here is Tony's pattern sketch and painting of the market. He is truly a master at this type of scene and one can sense his enthusiasm just viewing his great work.
