SHADE TREE MARKET


Painting completed in: 2006

This could be anyplace in Texas in the Summer! I photographed these two men 25 years ago at the Luling outdoor market and thought they would make a nice Painting but I let the years slip by. I used the man on the left as an accent in my painting "Hannibal, Texas" in 1994. This last June I showed my work at the Luling Watermelon Thump and after being surrounded by Watermelons for three days, I came home and dug out the Photographs and this is the result!
