Inspiration
For many months now, I’ve been thinking of clowns and masks. Perhaps this was a not-so subtle effect of seeing a Cirque du Soleil show last year, though I can’t discount the fact that I do have a fondness for clowns and masks.
I want to join the Circus is the first painting I’ve done since college. I don’t consider myself a painter so this piece was truly experimental.
She is approximately 9.75″ long by 5″ wide. She is made of wood and various acrylic paint and media.
She is for sale in my Etsy shop.
