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

So true! I wonder if the artist did that out of irony, or they just turned out that way...
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the questions we'll have to explore here.
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
