My husband and I went to our nephew’s wedding in China. The wedding was in the southern city of Loudi in the province of Hunan. Our relatives told us that Loudi is a small Chinese city of seven million people. There were many sidewalk vendors from which to buy a hot bowl of noodles or steamed buns. This particular street vendor had momentarily left the scene and so it was a perfect time for me to snap the photo. The vertical stove on which the kettle is resting on the far right hand side of the painting is fueled with solid coal. This stove, as well as the other elements in the scene, the pots, the three drums, and the broom was a delight to paint. I especially liked painting the rust on the stove.
