As both longtime residents of the islands, Jean and I are saddened for all the loss and destruction for everyone on Sanibel, Captiva and SWFL from Hurricane Ian. This would have marked our 15th season of operation of the farmers market on the island. We look forward to the day this loving, strong, resilient, and kind community is ready for us to re-open.

In the meantime, we are looking for an off island temporary location to set up on Sunday mornings. If anyone has any thoughts our vendors are ready to get back to business and serve you. Please email [email protected] with any thoughts.

Starting on Wednesdays, 9-1 we will be moving the Lakes Park Farmers Market to Harbour Plaza in South Fort Myers. This is a temporary location while the park is being used for emergency responders. The Plaza is just past Alico on 41, across from Restaurant Depot. Many vendors from Sanibel and Captiva markets will be attending. If you are in the area, we would love to see you.

Thank you to all that are working so hard, we are proud Sanibelians.

Vincent van Gogh
Evening Landscape ;1885
Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard, 35 x 43 cm
Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid


In April 1885, while concentrating on the series devoted to the Potato Eaters, a tribute to the country folk of Brabant, Van Gogh wrote to his brother, “I am also working on a red sunset.” Similarly, that same August he mentions among his most recent paintings “an evening effect after sunset.” Some authors have identified this sunset with the landscape belonging to a Swiss private collection, but it could also be the painting in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.

As in the portraits of country folk eating in a shadowy room, this landscape, which is almost nocturnal, allows Van Gogh to paint the darkness he so admired in seventeenth-century Netherlandish painting. In this first Dutch period which preceded his move to Paris, where his palette became more luminous and colourful owing to the influence of the new artistic trends that successively emerged around him, Van Gogh’s style is characterised by a realism with strong tenebrist undertones.
