Love the song and the painting. Rarely see a female clown so can appreciate the, perhaps, biographical tones of the image Very nicely done and good luck with the contest

    Thank you very much for your understanding review. i didn't realise but there is some biographical in it. I'm happily married but I am an actress/singer used to smile especially when things get tough personal or otherwise.

I have no clue about the Broadway musical.So I am unable to know the implierd meaning of this artwork. But I admit that you have used the freedom that digital technology offers to image-makers. You have created a digital image that at once appears captivating in its composition. Good effort.

I love the beautiful eyes and angelic face. Excellent execution of the collar on her garment. Great composition and color palette. The background looks like an oil painting.

    Thank you very much. Good eye, I indeed used a variety of [digital] oil brushes on the background.

Very nicely done painting of this clown, I enjoy the use of the flower in the work, of course, lol. Her expression is nice and clear and I like the use of the lyrics. Best of luck in the contest. Shirley

Very cute painting of a white-faced clown. I like the daintiness of this. Very nice colors also. Great technique demonstrated.

I love the soft colours you've used on this and the overall effects.
I keep getting pulled back to the clown's eyes!
The bright red rose adds that little bit extra.
This is a great entry for the competition - Good luck!

Comment from AmbienceStudio


I can't stop looking at this piece simply because I LOVE the way it makes me feel. Presentation has an enormous impact of emotion and deep thought. Your creativity and technique should be recognized and congratulated. Bravo!!! Story telling was much enjoyed. But art this good tells a story all by itself.
