Flowers For sale.........one of a series for an exhibition .....in this watercolour i wanted to bring to the viewer the brightness of the caribbean ,.... the colours used here are bright fresh and add a difference to other works ....i wanted also to capture the flower vendor or vendors of Trinidad so few left as flowers are now sold in malls or flower shops this piece shows a woman not only selling her cut flowers in buckets set up on the pavement but also honey etc ... the flower vender adds a burst of beauty when come upon in Trinidad on the corners of busy streets they once set up its now rare to find them ...i backed the sale of the selling of the flowers with a burst of a flowering garden of an old home and one can note the vibrant flowering of the bouganvilla the purple as well as the crimson ... i indeed had fun with the shading in with the blues i used for shadows ..this piece was sold some time back ....
