Vintage Circus Cabaret Trio

Here is my Vintage Circus Cabaret Trio~ All done is in Acrylics with pastel type hues. For my own purposes I looked up the true definition of Cabaret:

1. A restaurant or nightclub providing short programs of live entertainment.
2. The floor show presented by such a restaurant or nightclub.

So for me whether you call it Circus, Cabaret, Performing Arts it is all subjective as I have created my own Vintage Circus Cabaret Trio~

The Cabaret is said to have originated in France around 1880~ If you want to know more you can visit the link above. Below is a Vintage poster reproduction that is for sale by following the link~

Seeing the image above may put a new spin on my direction of Vintage Circus to Cabaret~ But not just yet, you see before I go there I have my two new paintings done to show you very soon! In a bolder and I think more futuristic or modern style~
What have you been painting lately? Has there been a theme or series you are or have worked on? I would love to know what you are working on, do tell~
Oh, and I found some cool old circus videos that I am going to share too!

This image isn't the best but it has most of the whole painting in the capture~ I'll have to retake some photos outside when its not so hot!

Vintage Cabaret Performing Arts Circus~ I love viewing vintage photography and how it can inspire you. As artist's we are very visual and that can be a good thing. On occasion I think we can get over whelmed with visual stimulation and you know it is times to step back a bit~
Today I am going to try and organize a few things so I can get to creating again, but wanted to share another Acrylic on paper of my Vintage Circus Series~

"These images in vivid and violent tones have resulted from crystallization of memories of the circus, popular tales or travel." Henri Matisse
