Trumpeting at the Fair
“Trumpeting at the Fair” was inspired by a photograph I took in Franschhoek main road during one of the Cape Minstrel’s parades. The entire vibe was a wonderful experience, and this particular man playing his trumpet was full of passion, and I wanted to capture the moment of this happiness in my art. I used…
