I was inspired by how this woman was so fully immersed in the process of wrapping her flowers as a beautiful bouquet for a customer. You can see her love of the flowers and her desire to delight those who buy them. I just had to capture that moment.

"Flower Vendor" is one of my paintings included in "Portraits of Life: An Ekphrastic Anthology" with poems written by local artists. The book is the rsult of an event sponsored by the Ellicott City Poetry and Prose non-profit organization in conjunction with an exhibition I had with my friend Elaine Weiner-Reed at the Baltimore County Arts Guild (BCAG) Clubhouse Gallery. Take some time to listen to the video I have provided here to hear the poet reading her piece.
