Street Artist

One thing I've never tried is be a street artist. But it surely looks like fun! Here's an easel set up at the Piazza del Duomo in Florence. This artist has his bike handy so he can take off for lunch or at a moment's notice. He's painting onsite while waiting for sales. He's got a sweet little economical painting set up.Note the water bottles under the tray for watercolors and drinking.Isn't every tourist tempted at sometime or other by these artists? I bought this tiny watercolor of the archades at the Santa Maria Novella church. This painting is just 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". I went back to find him on another trip but impossible.A Parisien print dealer along the Seine. I'd LOVE to set up my portfolio like this and sell some watercolors in Paris.
Here's another street artist I can't resist. Especially the crepes with citron.
Being a beach artist isn't so bad even if you don't make any sales.
