2013 India Sketch Journal July 20 Meera Rao
This corner florist really brightens up the dusty drab sidewalk with colorful and fragrant flowers. I was impressed by what a brisk business he had making flower bouquets and arrangements. All he had was a bright blue tarp and a little shack with blue paint to match. But it made for a lovely corner lifting my spirits every time I went by on my errands! I decided to sketch it on two days giving the corner and the shack its own space in my sketchbook :)

How sweet! It's great that you appreciate those little things like flowers to look at as you pass by. :)
The flower shacks are very common seen on pavements, they always do brisk business.Loved your version Meera! But the seller has to undergo lots of hassles/harassment to set it up with out a license, that makes me feel sad because they can not afford to set up a regular shop.
Thank you Carol! yes, the colors and fragrance of the flowers are such wonderful punctuation for a day filled with errands!
Padmaja, thank you :) I hear the same stories from nyc street vendors too -- one has to admire their tenacity and determination to try and make a living!
