Description
A banjo busker in Asheville plays his old instrument on the street for tips. He is aware the old girl is failing and he is looking for a new one. So I tipped him $120 and told him to get a new one when he can. Then I took a photo which I interpreted digitally with line drawing, bright acrylic colors, and finger painting smudges. The result here reflects the beauty of his music, old banjo or not.

This delightful picture is featured on the Master page of the “PHENOMENAL CLUB” group, and may it be known, that the author is a full member of that exceptional group. Hearty congratulations to the great artist.

I love this image - the colors, the patterns, the faint but unmistakable sketch of the banjo and the player's hand a strummin' - beautiful creation, John.
Janine Riley
Gorgeous array of vibrant color and spontaneous design. This is art that makes the soul sing with joy .
Connie Handscomb
Incredibly well done! Wonderful sentiment here, the busker's gnarled hands have stories to tell along with his music. How kind of you to help him get a new banjo, John; I'm sure he is enjoying it ... & remembering the kindness of strangers;))
John Haldane replied:
Thank you! He posted on Facebook today that he is in heaven with his new banjo and feels blessed.
