| Flower Vendor - Dublin |
In the heart of Dublin, Ireland, an expansive grid of narrow streets was crowded with people. Sightseers often stopped in their tracks to take it all in. People with a purpose and a destination weaved in and around them. We were part of the former group, browsing through block after block of vendors, cafes and pubs. On this street, traffic was limited to business related deliveries so it was fun to wander around and take in the colorful sights and sounds.
In this scene a young woman selling flower bouquets remained watchful as a couple of women scope out the floral sprays. I thought from the minute I saw it that this would make an interesting painting scene. By design, each element of the painting is prioritized by how realistic it is painted. The center of interest is the proprietor, and is the most realistically painted. Next were the black buckets on the brick roadway, then the flower bouquets, and lastly the two figures on the left.
