Circus in Camden...

The circus came to Camden and set up right down the street from my house. This was just a small circus, but still lots of fun to paint. They were only there for one day so I did a few sketches and tried to get a little bit of the color. The painting above is where they do pony rides once the kids showed up, 11×14″.

Before the crowds arrived I was able to stand in the middle of the grounds and paint the ticket booth with the big tent behind it, 11×14″.

The ticket booth as people are showing up for the first performance, 10×8″.

   everything about these paintings is fabulous. You are masterful at creating vibrant neutrals to set off bright color. The compositions are text book strong.
   At the risk of sounding like a broken record… you are head and shoulders above the rest. And NOT ’cause you’re tall
