The Farmer's Market
September 2008
Saturday mornings in Oriental have a “new tradition”. Tents with local folks selling local produce. There’s everything from egg plant to fresh crabs, locally made garden art to fresh eggs. For the past year is you wandered down to Hodges Street on a Saturday morning you’ll usually find the Farmer’s market open.
Sometimes Laura is down at the market selling banners. Sometimes just to check what the farmers have. This month’s drawing captures a busy market morning…
| Laura Turgeon and her husband Gil Fontes live in Oriental. When they are not out looking at boats Laura and Gil are often seen with drawing instruments or paint brushes in hand. More of Laura's work can be found at her site LauraTurgeon.com. |
