Crystal Ball supplier disappoints…

With the pundits profuse touting of the Crystal Ball Futures product, Court Painter was doubly assured by the company literature that any paintings he created of future events through the aid of crystal gazing , would unfold as value added painterly predictions and hold up to any contemporary scrutiny in the future as it became present. Moving from the past where things were predicted into the future, the present has arrived and Court Painter has been forced to dump on the open art market, a series of past predictive images presently gone sour and of diminished value…currently!

“We undertook the use of the Crystal Ball Futures product in good faith as an aid in building up an Oracle Series of inventory based on crystal ball gazing and wishful thinking. We were proven wrong!” sobbed Press Attache A Hardon MacKay at an emotional press briefing.

He went on to say through a veil of tears that after this ill fated venture of predicting the future through art, Court Painter would now return to his traditional real time method of “capturing the present… the immediate,…the moment … the ever present…as we know it. The future sadly is for prognosticators and pundits not brush wielding practitioners rooted in the now!”

Note: Court Painter was obligated under the purchase agreement to include a Crystal Ball Futures product placement in each painting.
