Jane Martin is one of the resident artists at Soulard Art Market, where I sometimes participate in group shows. (I'll be exhibiting there in September.) She has been on the blog once before when I ran into her at our wacky Tomatofest, where there is an annual attempt to make the world's largest bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Her work is African-inspired but in this picture she looks like she could be reciting Shakespeare.

I'm in Chicago on business so that's the reason for few comments on your blogs today. I'm actually working. Please believe me.
This is Jane Martin (click the link to see more of her work), one of the artists at the Soulard Art Market cooperative, where I've shown some photos. Martin had some of her paintings on display at Tomatofest. That's where this was taken. She was in a little covered tent thing on a bright day and the light was gorgeous (with the help of some fill flash). And what happy blue eyes. That's the joy of street portraiture.
