Clown paintings...


For some reason, people are compelled to create. And a percentage of those compelled creators are further compelled to paint clowns. I'm not sure why, but they've done it and we should enjoy it. Or shudder at the sight - there is no right or wrong reaction.


One last lovely bit of clown art...


When one paints a clown picture, does one go mad? I wonder.

  1. That clown painting on the bottom is too frightening for words. How is that in all of the variety of facial expressions on those clowns... they're all just a bit...off...? They're maniacal!

  2. So true! I wonder if the artist did that out of irony, or they just turned out that way...

    Ahhh, the questions we'll have to explore here.

  3. GAH! I've seen this painting before. I worked at a summer camp in northern Minnesota in 2005, and a painting just like this one surfaced in an old shed (creepy enough in itself). Some of my fellow counselors thought it'd be funny to add a personal message to it. Photo here: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/322_518890223011_5470_n.jpg
