Spanish Market Scooter

BERNARD MARKS WROTE ABOUT HIS ENERGETIC WATERCOLOR “SPANISH MARKET SCOOTER”:

“Spanish Market Scooter” captures the festive atmosphere that permeates the mid-summer Spanish Market event in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Artisan booths surround the town’s historic Plaza. Music fills the air. Children and others dance around the bandstand. And artists like me hang out with our cameras and sketchbooks, trying our best to be inconspicuous

I always enjoy being openly part of the crowd at these events with my camera and sketchbook in hand. People react well to me, and I never know what might happen at any time. In this case, I captured an especially cute moment—a boy barreling through on his scooter—that gave me great raw material for “Spanish Market Scooter.”
