We have many street vendors in Dhaka. This flower seller’s expression caught my attention. It’s turned out to be more aggressive mostly because of what I read into the situation and the stories that I built around him which kept me occupied when painting.
Using oils after a break. The first painting is yet to be completed. This one, I’m calling done. It’s the first signed painting in 2009!
“Flower Seller”, 20″ X 22″, oil on canvas.

hello Ujwala,
what a fun post to start the day. I mean, it was fun to see that French title, to hear a French song with a lovely English accent ant to enjoy your art.
To me, that vendor looks like a torreador, receiving flowers after the fight! no frontiers in that post
beautiful painting!
i couldnt resist the song
it was “given” to me when i was learning french. i must confess that i failed quite miserably coz i was too embarassed to make mistakes!! but i didnt forget the songs they chose for me. my untrained ears missed the english accent 
And thanks, now that you mention it, he does remind me of a torreador.
this is really good! fabulous character and expression
Very Expressive…….. “Somebody is doing Something Different from all of us……!! All the Best !!
Beautiful work! I love how you caught the flower vendor’s expression perfectly.
thank you
