Apricale - the Enterprising Flautist
Meet Victor who installed himself in this little corner of the square, set up his music stand and started to play. Note, in the last photo, a small box to collect money from happy listeners. He's also selling some toys displayed on the table.
Your close up portrait of this budding musician and entrepreneur is simply charming and I could see a painter wanting to capture this scene. I love that you pulled back and showed us the "whole picture" of him framed in the arch. . .it gives such a sense of place. I bet the acoustics under there made for some natural amplification.

I can almost hear him....I enjoy listening to flautists.

ReplyDeleteGreat picture of Victor. His music was a delight to everyone's ears on that village square.
ReplyDeleteAnd was this young entrepreneur supported by the public?
ReplyDeleteGood for him!
ReplyDeleteHi Jilly! It appears that Victor picked a place that probably had good acoustics! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe wagon/cart behind Victor "worries" me - is there another entrance? (Probably, but ya never know unless you ask.)
And I agree, these are the beginning to a good start for a painting!

Ken, he had to climb the little wall. In fact this area is under the square above this square. Complicated I know!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the young musician. He could be travelling the world doing this in a few years time.
