oilpaint on canvas 120.00x100 centimetres
I am concerned with drawing attention to the "outsiders" in society , those who live in difficult circumstances those who ,like myself remain dignified and manage to live by thier , ability ,wits or plain hard work.Circus performers are so incredibly disciplined ,train so hard ,develop such amazing skills and work live together along with others as a unit that I admire them greatly. The idea that they are living and working as they do, they are aristocrats . Here in this painting they are in the early morning mist in a valley below a castle, outside of the castle ,of the village . They are with all thier artistry,like myself ,outsiders .
