“Bentonville Farmer’s Market” 8×10 oil on canvas
I hosted the first paint out with PAPO (Plein Air Painters of the Ozark) this year. We had it at Downtown Bentonville. It was so spring fresh with bright green leaves on the trees and grounds and the tulips in multiple colors all over the square!
I decided to capture the monument and fountain which was full of tulips and the courthouse in the background.

There are more photos from the event at this link PAPO At lunch I decided not to join the group for lunch and headed home because I wasn’t feeling well and the weather changing to the forecast-ed stormy afternoon.
This is how my painting evolved with final version as farmer’s market shown on top of my palette above.

But I decided it needed to look like how I most enjoy the square – with the farmer’s market going on, on a Saturday morning, with vendors and people and performers around it. We all had a great day!
The glamorous life and times of an artist!
