Erin Ayo. ( joyous smile)

Artwork story

Erin Ayo.(joysous smile) Every market woman's joy is to sell because the relevance of heading out in the morning is to come back home sold out. Any time she went out in the market, her joy always knew no bounds when she came back at night, and after separating the necessities from the made funds, my mom would always treat us to a nice meal and treat. I always like this part of her that, despite her hard work and doubled strength, she is dedicated to her business, and there is always something to show for it.

1. Theme: Joy, hard work, perseverance, and the fulfilment that comes from reaping the rewards of one's labour.

2. Process: Inspired by my mother's daily market routine, her dedication to her fruit business, and the happiness that came with selling her goods and returning home with something to show for her efforts.

3. Emotion: Happiness, gratitude, nostalgia, admiration, and the warmth of childhood memories filled with my mother's love and generosity.

4. Reference: My mother's joyful expression after a successful day at the market and how she celebrated her efforts by treating us to nice meals and little gifts. Her story inspires this painting as a tribute to hardworking market women whose joy lies not only in making sales but also in providing for their families.
