New Addition to My Art Collection

I'm so excited and can't wait to hang this painting.  I just bought "Market Day" from artist Brenda Furman.  I LOVE the colors and texture.  They made me say "WOW!!" the first time I saw this and Brenda's other paintings.  She uses such a bright and cheerful palette and her subjects are so lively.  This particular painting was inspired by her daily experiences from the time she lived in Cape Town, South Africa.  Brenda says she has yet to see anything here in the states that compares.  Brenda is a very nice lady with a lovely South African accent.  I love listening to her talk. 

As is the case with most of my art collection, I not only love the piece I have purchased, but I also have fond memories of the artist, and some place and/or time associated with each one.  This one will always bring me joy and remind me of my South African studio neighbor at Art Square Studios.
