In the Market in Taipei 在台北菜市場買水果

I grew up in Taiwan in my early years.  I always enjoyed the fun time to shop for daily fresh produce or whatever treasure you could find in the open air market that was usually set out along the streets in the morning.  This market is in a suburb of Taipei called XinDian.  As I walked in the market with my sister those colorful umbrella along with the fruit stands caught my eyes.  I did a few snap shots for my reference.  Here is the painting to document the daily life in Taipei.  My sister commented that this painting made such an ordinary market so attractive - yes, it was beautiful through an artist's eyes.
