      Laugh, clown laugh!...But does your painted-on smile hide a breaking heart?

An expressive use of line and color to tell the age-old tale of the clown who is laughing on the outside while he is crying on the inside.
  This was painted in a deceptively simple technique, which can be very effective when handled with some sensitivity.  I recall that Picasso used a similar technique when he was painting jugglers and other circus performers,  earlier in the twentieth century.

    Giclee fine-art prints of this painting are available.
