Three Muses - Circus

When I was a child, the traveling circuses used to place their posters on rural barns far in advance of their appearances in the area.   I remember the excitement of seeing the posters, and the anticipation of their arrival.   So, for the circus challenge this week, I knew I just HAD to do a barn!   The barn, the posters, the crow, the clown and the wagonwheel were all "harvested" separately from cyber-surfing to create this scene.  Thanks for visiting me here!

  2. It's difficult to come up with an original take on the circus but you have managed to do it in style! Once again you have taken us into your childhood world and we can only imagine the excitement when an old, grey barn is covered with bright posters and the promise of good things to come.
    Fantastic idea and beautiful artwork. (Love how you have skewed the posters to fit the perspectives of the barn).

  13. I'm with you, Bev, the anticipation was almost as good as the circus and there is no doubt you have set the scene perfectly here. Very clever, very original and a five star performance. Loud applause from me, my friend.

    I'm stopping by from "Three Muses" to take a peek at your art.

    That's a unique take on the circus concept. I like it, except for the clown peeking around the corner...lol...he creeps me out. :)
