We went to Italy a number of years ago and hands down my favorite city was Florence. I could have stayed there for weeks just wandering around the streets. The market there was fabulous, selling everything from leather goods to any kind of fresh food you could dream of. The merchants were engaging and I took a lot of photos. This painting is of a man who was selling fresh vegetables. The overhead light served as a kind of spotlight , making the scene more dramatic. I had a lot of reference material to paint for a long time afterwards.
