Women vendors are one of the everyday locals observed by Filipina artist Norma Belleza who has painted popular subjects and theme s in Philippine visual arts and has still produced refreshing works. Through her vibrant color harmonies, distinct brushstrokes, and fascinating figures, Belleza has made delightful interpretations of Philippine life, particularly peasant and everyday folk activities or preoccupations. More than painting vendors in the market, she also depicts outdoor vendors of local food such as the halo-hal o, among others one can see being sold in the parks and str eets. She celebrates the richness of rural life and the joys of being Filipino.
