Arts on the avenue

Every summer, West Reading closes Penn avenue to cars and such traffic and opens it up to local artisans who showcase and sell their wares.  When I went last year, I was interested in the people who showed up.  This lady was there with her little dog and they made such a great picture.  I snapped a few photos and painted this as an homage to her unique character.
