Victor Trumpets Dogs by Josslyn  Martin Art This original painting by Martin is inspired by the Australian short story The Day I Bowled Victor Trumper Out by Dal Stivens. The narrative centres on a colourful character known as “Victor Trumpet,” the name Martin given to a stout miner with only a few inches of lung left. The story unfolds through the rambling, often nonsensical conversation of two men, blending humour with exaggeration. One claim dominates their talk: the fat miner’s boast that he once bowled the legendary cricketer Victor Trumper out for a duck. The cricket pitch was near a 1400 foot sandstone cliff.

Martin’s painting captures the spirit of tall tales, memory, and Australian storytelling, where fact and fiction blur in the telling.

This origional painting can be hung framed or unframed. Josslyn Martin Art recomends framing for best results however the painting ready to hang
