WHAT A CLOWN



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!

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 ;)
