I can understand why you would never want to sell this one David. It is wonderful. i love market scenes and I love that you have done is with such simplicity when I know how hard it can be to leave out the detail but it so works for this and for all of your work. I am striving to be more abstracted in my work and I am learning byt looking at these paintings. i love them all but of course i think I'm with you and your wife on this oe as it is my favorite although those sunflowers are awesome too! i love looking at your pastels.
