Sad clown. by Stephen Hulse

Oh what a treat, eye catcher Stephen .

Very striking Stephen

Very good indeed, Stephen!!

Like 👍 in in a sad 😔 way

I wonder why they are often depicted sad and forlorn. Maybe thinking… Custard down my trousers this evening…AGAIN!! A fine painting.

Quite superb Stephen.

Wow that's different Stephen! And I agree with Graham - eye catching and a treat

This has a great sense of design Stephen.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Striking image, Stephen! There is something sad about clowns. I remember learning how to paint tears on a clowns face in a stage makeup class.

Yes, this clown does look sad and something sacred about his attire,, the ruff,, and gaze as though he is performing for an audience that wanted to see him get drenched in water, but he has avoided any such game,, just placid and wants to attract sympathy instead of laughter! It's different this feature but thought evocative instead...well done Stephen!

Touching, like it !!

Very arresting painting Stephen, I like it.

I can see the emotion in the face Stephen.

Great painting really captures there sadness. Really makes you think and wonder why so sad?
