The Salamanca Buskers


















Everyone seems to know how much I enjoy drawing buskers. Linda from my art class went to Tasmania and visited the Salamanca market. She was kind enough to give me a photo of these buskers. They look extremely cold, all rugged up in their tartan blankets and berets. They look like they are concentrating hard and enjoying the music. The colors I have chosen are to help create the cold environment. I believe they must be siblings as they have a similar look.


On a roll this week. Went to Ringwood art Society last night withthis picture and won first prize in the ABC competition in the B section. The judge was Robyn Schubat. Robyn demonstrated palete knife painting. She depicted a laneway scene. The painting was portrayed in brilliant oranges and blues and completed within 1.5 hrs. Amazing demonstration.

Kay, have just seen Degraves Street at Koko Lime and thought the colors would suit our lounge room. We have slate and the Reds and Blues would fit in perfectly. Now have seen The Salamanca Buskers on your blog and were wondering if it was still for sale and if so how much and what are the dimensions? It will be a hard decision to make. We are also in Ringwood so might it be possible to see the actual "Buskers" work?
