ARTISTA EFÍMERO. - EPHEMERAL ARTIST.

            We walked through a city of Brittany, just I can not remember which, but for the type of photography I think it does not matter much, when I saw this street artist painting his picture of the day, because the next day there is nothing left.
Everything has its trick and street artists know that if someone sees a painting on the floor and a box with coins, usually passes by, but if the artist is present and you see how it goes adding colors here and there, you entertain looking as he paints and at the end, you strips something  in the coin box.
Perhaps he would like more to paint great works of art, but one day realized he was not a genius of painting, and painting in the street would gain much more money than hanging his paintings in a gallery.
Absorbed in his work and full of remnants of paint everywhere, he did not care anything or anyone. Touching up went on and on without even looking up from his work. Perhaps he was happy, or maybe not. I guess his biggest concern should be that the dark clouds lurking in the sky, not end in torrential rain, since then, all their work hours would go down in a few minutes.
Good money is earned, but he gambles every day because in these latitudes, the chances are that sooner or later, fall a cloudburst.
But that's life.

Paseábamos por una ciudad de Bretaña, exactamente no recuerdo cual, pero por el tipo de fotografía creo que no importa demasiado, cuando vi a este artista callejero pintando su foto del día, ya que al día siguiente ya no queda nada.
Todo tiene su truco y los pintores callejeros saben que si alguien ve una pintura en el suelo y una caja con monedas, normalmente pasa de largo, pero si el artista está presente y ves como va añadiendo colores aquí y allá, te entretienes mirando como lo hace y al final, algo tiras en la caja de monedas.
Quizá le gustaría más pintar grandes obras de arte, pero un día comprendió que no era un genio de la pintura y que pintando en la calle ganaría mucho más que colgando sus cuadros en una galería.
Absorto en su obra y lleno de restos de pintura por todas partes, no le importaba nada ni nadie. Seguía y seguía retocando sin ni siquiera levantar la vista de su obra. Quizá era feliz, o quizá no. Supongo que su mayor preocupación debía ser que los negros nubarrones que acechaban en el cielo, no acabaran en lluvia torrencial pues entonces, todo su trabajo de horas se iría al traste en pocos minutos.
Se gana un buen dinero, pero se la juega cada día, pues en estas latitudes, lo más probable es que más pronto o más tarde, caiga una chaparrón.
Pero, así es la vida.
