Venice Fruit Market Painting Heading to McLean's Artfest this Monday

"Mercato," oil, 30"h x 24"w, ©2015 Jill Banks
Last year's trip to Venice awarded many visits to the Fish Market there. Not too keen on painting the fish, I chose the fruit market instead.

Beyond the market is the canal. Above are strings that hold bananas. We saw this everywhere. Bananas on high.

"Mercato" took many "takes" and is a combination of several sources and my memory of being there.

You're invited...
