Thank you so much, SARAH A.VINNAY, for the discussions on Vegan (Vegetarian) products!!!!. This led me to come up with this painting!

The Farmers or Producers have something to smile about as "Vegan" (Vegetarian) products are coming along strong!!!! This gives farmers a reason to smile again!!!

***In the painting the women have had a bumper harvest!!! They are "Focusing" and "Smiling" on the "Vegen News". They look sideways at each other and into the future... listening to the great news!!!

With smile in their heart!!!!
