There are several moments when the collection of random events create an interesting scenario.
Here we see Vince the busker plying his trade after the hectic days of Tamworth Country Music Muster. In the background the Storyteller, accompanied by his wife seated in the foreground, tells the story of a lonely giant and the children who would mock him.The child giant sits with his back to the ampitheatre and as the story goes... waits for an opportunity to share in the laughter and frivolity of the other children.
Meanwhile the wife is explaining to the Busker, Vince, How her husband was stopped from weaving his stories in public because he did not have a bluecard!
At the same time as the artscape was in creation stage, I was negotiating a sale of an artscape from the Eumundi Market Series.
Well on the day went.... The Busker made little ,although he gave all, the Story teller asked for nothing ..showed his bluecard twice and plied his wordsmithing...and the artist sold an artscape to a lass on a stolen credit card.! Everyday has it's magic and everday has it's reality.
