The market in Accra,Ghana is  "loud, buzzing with activity, heat, noise and music". It is a colorful open-air department store spread over several blocks.  It is a very interesting place to absorb the culture and check out how people live and what goods are important to them. 
With a bright colorful palette of acrylic paints, this abstract painting depicts the sellers from the market with large straw hats sitting by their tomato stand.
 
In Ghana, the temperature soars and the sun is very bright for most of the year. Ghanaians rely on these hats to keep them cool and shielded from that damaging sun. They are best sun hats and last for years. They can be shaped and reshaped by just getting them wet with water and then air dry. As a wide parasol, beneath these straw hats, these sellers offer a dizzying array of merchandise.
