We asked Mark Elsmore RI to give us the story behind his Escoda Barcelona Award winning painting ‘Playlist’. He writes:
‘Playlist’, listening to music, deep in thought. She was in Vienna, sitting outside a church. I have to admit that at first I thought she was begging until I saw those red boots tapping along to the beat. The song she is hearing is the soundtrack of her life.
