The Show must go on is an intriguing piece of art. The blue-colored hair clown is me. No, I am not a clown, but I put myself in a lot of my works. The clown has button eyes to make her look more surreal. She is a living doll that lives in the painting and frame. The gentleman who is having a hard time carrying the heavy piece across the grass must have a difficult life. He is taking her to a child's party to entertain children. Being stuck in a frame is her joy and burden all at the same time. Sometimes we can imagine a dig deep to try and empathize with characters we see. We give them human emotions, and it helps draw us into the story. She brings happiness to those that meet her. That should bring her joy and peace to help cope with being trapped. If there were living dolls that had emotions like the way Hollywood warns us, I would be shy around her. I am thankful I live in the day and age. I use machines to make my life easier and communicate with people all over the world instantly. I am not prepared to deal with my computer having human emotions. The more I study and learn about things that I missed in school, and I am growing into the person I dreamt I could be. Take time to enjoy colorful pieces of art and add your own story behind what you see. Using the right side of your brain the creative side helps you enjoy life. Thank you for taking the time to look at my art.
