<p>[QUOTE="Antiquefab, post: 6563531, member: 79338"]Hi All.I would just like to thank all the forumers who took the time to look at the pictures and give their opinion on the paintingThats the beauty of art,its individuality, and that everyone has their own personal taste and ideas. .I may seem biased but I feel that "Clowns" in general have become what I would describe as public enemy number one. Many of you if you are like me in over 50s bracket,would remember going to the circus,and seeing the clowns doing all their silly stuff,which made us all laugh ,young and old,everybody loved the clowns.But unfortunately in recent times,maybe due to John Wayne Gacey,and films like "IT",clowns are no longer viewed as happy go lucky people who entertained us and made us laugh,but are now viewed as evil and their very sight instills fear In people.Thus the humble clown has now fallen from his former glory,and maybe the somewhat sad clown in the painting is depicted so,because of how he is now perceived by people.Maybe it's a reflection of society today.But I'M standing by my sad clown painting.it hangs proudly on the wall ,and I'm sure it will keep being a topic of conversation for all who view it.For ' clowns they're only human after all'. Oh and by the way can someone tell Marie Forgan it's all right,she can come out from under the bed,the clown won't harm her!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
