Watercolor by Robert Bock, 1967
Handmade and painted in the seasonal colors of fruits, vegetables and plants, we like to think of the fruit market as our own work of art, created fresh by all of us every single day.
We love that we've collected quite a few traditional works of art over the years, and we love that many artists have represented the market in their own paintings and photographs. It also shouldn't be a surprise that many of the people who work at the market are artists themselves. Some of them sell their artwork here; some of them have gifted us with their works. Here's a sampling of some of our YFM treasures!
The two images above were painted by Joanne Shellan - www.joanneshellan.com
We received this portrait of JP Patches when we contributed to the "Late for the Interurban" Fremont statue fund.
Lucky, the good luck rooster has worked at the market since 1986 and was painted by our friend Ted Pankowski. Remember, sitting on Lucky brings you good luck all day!
This is Sassy, a Sasquatch sculpture commissioned by our kissin' cousin Cliff Crook, legendary Bigfoot hunter.
Our alumni Tim McVickar created this pencil portrait of Kevin Counard, our dearly loved and missed friend and coworker. After Kevin's death we created a scholarship in his name and Tim was the first recipient. We have since awarded two other memorial scholarships.
Shannon Danforth, YFM alumni painted this picture.
Win and Harla Poage work at the market and create art together. Harla designed this years sweatshirt and they collaborate to make commercial metal signs. We are proud to sell Handmade LaConner products where we have this sign in our grocery department. www.maltbymetalworks.etsy.com
We appreciate the handmade quality of this vintage Fruit Market sign, and you can even see it in the painting from 1967 pictured above.
Walk on our handprinted rug!
Barbara Kerwin painted this mural when she was still a student in the 1970s. She is a California artist and University instructor. Look up to see the whole mural next time you are in the market. www.barbarakerwin.com
This meadow lark was painted by one of our nursery growers who prefers to remain anonymous. But you've enjoyed his living floral master pieces for years.
Renata Dollinger is a local woman who survived the Holocaust and began painting scenes of 18th century Jewish village life. She is herself a living treasure.
The two paintings above are also by Ted Pankowski, and show our spring and fall life at the market. Ted is a gifted teacher, and I had the privilege of taking painting lessons from him. When you learn to paint you're actually learning how to see, and how to adjust your sight for the unique vision your art brings to the world.
Fruitfully yours,
Karin
I am Alecia Maldonado used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Dr Mandaker); he just got he just got his website (holyaraminta.com), has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
ReplyDeletefor free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as witchhealing@outlook.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,Barrenness(need a child),goodLuck voodoo,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
