Clowns abound was painted on canvas between the years of 1970-1989. The dimensions are 26" x 38". The painting captures the emotions on the clowns faces which shows the true pain and diversity of each individual clown. The different clowns help intensify what the artist is feeling or trying to express to the viewers.    

The painting was chosen for its unique style and detailed art work. The emotions on each face express the thought and feelings of each clown. This piece blends in with the circus theme exhibit.
