For a man that extends his patience beyond normal and healthy levels I feel I am finally being worn down. Do I give in? do I continue to fight the good fight? This setup here would test the patience of a saint, let alone a man that has issues himself to contend with.

'Pissed Off Clown' is a snapshot at what I am slowly but surely being reduced to. I am no longer the ringleader in this three ringed circus. I have been relegated to taking on a clowns persona, yet when I am pissed off this clown aint a happy go lucky clown. No matter how hard I try to hide my inner pain, it oozes out, my unhappiness cannot be masked.

So now who is the ringleader? We dont have one, we have 3 acts, a clown that also does trapeze, a lioness cub that is being trained by a clown and not the ringleader, and you dont need to know what the other act is. This circus has nearlly run its course.

Medium Notes:

Title: Pissed off Clown: Atelier acrylics, French Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, light Red Ochre, arylamide yellow, crimson and Titanium White with Atelier Mediums, and charcoal on fibro board, 970mm x 670mm.

Artists Notes: 2nd November 2009

Fibro is an interesting surface on which to work, cant do bigger paintings as the weight becomes a factor. Its easy to work the surface and get physical if needed, easy to sand, easy to move the pigment. Have a few on the ground ready to go, making good progress. Glad I have a form of expression away from words, think I would pop without it, the meltdown has begun, matter of time, whether its a month or another year, the meltdown is inevitable.

"According to Freud, through art we attempt to create alternatives to reality in which we channel our irrational and anti-social drives in socially acceptable ways."
