The inspiration for this one was a grackle with a bit of suet/seed on it's beak, as if it was balanced there. I immediately thought about a bird balancing a big, red ball = a circus bird!
You can't tell well in the photo, but I used some irridescent pigment mixed in with the regular pigment for the purple areas.
What a Clown!
Happy May!

Oh, Rhonda, beautiful, what a CROWN! Cheers, Sadami
I'm sure I can hear a bird in the background with a honking horn and feint notes of circus music drifting on the breeze. Love it :o)
you can see a bit of the shine, works well for the bird :) he does look a little annoyed at the red ball though lol ;)
Glad you enjoy this silly guy, Chris, Sadami, Lisa and Jennifer Rose :)
