DO YOU HEAR THE SWEET MUSIC?



SWEET TUNES 
HOLLYWOODS FARMERS MARKET
6" x 6" pastel
$295 + $15 insured priority shipping


A fog greeted me as I peered out the window this morning.

Dismal? 

No, for the day took me away to a memory a short time ago. 

The day was similar with an overcast, bland sky
and my excitement grew for I was traveling to the 
Hollywoods Farmers Market. 
The bustle, colors, sounds, smells and people. . .
such a feast for eyes!

As I walked, I heard the sweetest yet soft melody from afar. 
Ahead was a man sitting in the middle of the street.
Oblivious to the crowd, he softly played the flute. 

And the fog cleared and my spirits soared!

    Nice pastel. I love the way you took the ordinary road blocks and turned them into a colorful background. Nice figure too!
