Circus Juggler

Circus Juggler

My Circus Juggler is made with acrylic paint on paper. I used a little led pencil for some detailing. I tried to use a looser style for the background.When creating him I did not draw first but used painting then outlining the detail in certain areas. I wanted to keep the color pallet simple. This is what I came up with for my Circus Juggler. I wanted him to have a vintage feel. I also wanted to have the color show the movement. Well I have more coming in this series. I also did a set of 4 on canvas with a carnival, circus theme which I will show you at a later date. Its very hot here right now, and not my favorite weather 106* and hotter! So I will be juggling all I have to do in the cool of the morning and evenings~ I hope you are having a wonderful summer so far. What things are you working on? Are you managing to make time for creating art? Have you worked on a series lately? Let me know what Circus Juggling you are doing~
Keep the circus going inside you, keep it going, don’t take anything too seriously, it’ll all work out in the end.~ David Niven

  4. Theresa, your circus juggler is so fun! He does have a vintage feel. I love the colors you used and the way you decided to paint freely.
    I am working on all kinds of things at the same time. I just posted about a cloth doll I am making, I am really enjoying that.
    Hugs,
