Don't you just love a good farmers market? These are pics from SFO's Ferry Market. California has great market's, the produce is so fabulous. It is really what I miss the most about living on the west coast, that and dining outside! I really like eating outside in the fresh air. I have been lucky enough to putter around farmers market's on the streets of Paris, they are amazing. They set up like a complete grocery store...if you are a cheese lover, wow! I have always had a thing for drawing fresh produce and it is on my list of "things to do" for adding to my portfolio. The wine book that I am currently illustrating has food drawings in it (after all, how many wineglasses do you want to see?) Those drawings are just 2 color (which is fine) but I think food needs to been shown in full color. There is simply nothing as vibrant as the colors in nature. I am especially passionate about fresh foods now that I have celiac and can't eat wheat because I know when I grab a peach I don't have to mull over the list of ingredients! Hooray! yesterday I bought a tub of fresh figs. I have no idea what to do with them, if you have ideas, share!
