Festive Quincy Market

Lobster Bake

A day trip or weekend in Boston wouldn't be complete without a stroll through Quincy Market.    It is colorful and festive in every season but especially when the weather is warm and sunny.   There is truly something for everyone, especially if you are hungry!

The Quincy Market could provide years of subject matter for a painter and I've taken photos of these displays with the intention of creating paintings from them.   I haven't yet painted en plein air for various reasons, not the least of which is accessibility (by car with gear).

Usually, food is the focus.  :)  If we plan on eating at the market, we make one pass down the center aisle to remind ourselves of what sweet and savory goodies are available.   Chowder, oysters, Greek, Italian, Indian (and of course cases and cases of pastries and confections) are a few of the categories.

On this day we selected our culinary delights and carried them outside to search for a bench.   People watching here is legendary, colorful whirlwind of folks young and old.   A balloon artist sat in the middle of the action to the fascination of plenty little people who were mesmerized with his creations.
