There are times when you question whether the “dream” is worth it….
You pass by them while hurrying to work everyday….the Street Angels.
Talented buskers and artists who live to dream of the day when a big time cigar smoking producer or agent will feel the magic and fulfill their dream.
Available as a framed print, mounted print, poster and laminated print.
Many thanks to Marcus Ranum

Thank you Von…as Tom said, there really isn’t an alternative;)
Cailean
Amazing stuff. I was inspired by a street angel myself for a poem. Love the picture, got so much happening in it, such life, without being pretentious about it! Similar to yourself, dear Shan :)
Shanina Conway replied
Hey Cailean, thank you..I love this theme, probably because I’ve lived it….love to see your poem;)

Shanina, I know this is about the busker, and you`ve portrayed her beautifully and she plays well and the monkey`s got such a sad look on his face that I know she`s gonna walk home tonight with a pretty fat wad and an optimistic smile….
But I keep coming back to the other chick. She`s obviously got lots of money (jeeze, does she know how to dress!), and I can see she`s compassionate just by the way she`s standing there… she`s also well connected in the art world as she`s definitely listening with intent. I think this could be the big break the busker`s been waiting for all these long and hungry years.
So now you`ll have to do the followup sequel where she gets the career she`s always wanted, becomes a superstar diva, develops a serious coke habit, and blows all her money and dies alone. At least as a busker, she had her soul.
Thanks for the daydream… you do such lovely art for the mind!

Seth Weaver
Gorgeous work Shanina and again all the GOOD comments are taken. The colors and rich details are marvelous. The mood is EXCELLENT. This has a Charles Dickens feel to it for me. Sad tragic people living by their wits. A grand visual story!

Elaine van Dyk
Excellent – Boy, am I glad I’ve come back in time to see this newly posted work before I fly off again!! It’s absolutely stunning work. The ambiance is great, and the body language/expression in the face of the woman playing the accordian is so compelling – it begs to be noticed. The passionate, red dress is like fire, or a burning desire….......
