Markets

A busy scene with lots of people looking at the wares on display.

Shoppers

Early in the Morning

People love markets, whether it’s the aroma of coffee or the chance for a bargain, markets attract lots of people. They make great subject matter for the artist as well. There is the chance to sketch people as they stand talking, or just as they pause to look carefully at the displays. Markets are alive with colour and that makes for interesting backdrops for the parade of people passing by! I have gathered together paintings from several markets around Brisbane.

This quick sketch attempts to catch the vibrancy of this colourful gathering.

Passers By

Exhibition

My next art exhibition will be held at the Metcalfe Gallery, Brisbane Institute of Art in early 2024. Please send me a note so I can remind you before my exhibition starts, Christine.
