Hello,
I know NOTHING about clowns, (except they are scary!) but I think this is called a Periotte.
I did not pick a certain painting because to my eye, most of his paintings are clown like people, so this is an in general imspiration from this site: http://www.ramonsantiago.com/art/index.htm 1990's
I also did a bg with lots of texture so since I never got to the Mix yesterday, this is for that challenge as well.
Thanks for looking!

oh my gosh this is cool (and I almost didn't click it because, I really don't like clowns...) but your colors are so warm and rich I knew you wouldn't make anything creepy so, I am glad I peeked.

Oh my word what an incredible job you did coloring this one, Robin! This is so beautifully done that she just melts into your matching background! I LOVE that look!
Thanks for the giggles on clowns being scary. My daughter says the same thing.

This card is amazing! It just jumps out of the gallery and says I am worth a much closer look. I don't know how you did the background but it is fabulous. And that face is beautiful and evocative!

Wow this is stunning. I hope Sabrina sees this, it would look wonderful next to her Harlequin card from this week. Rumour has it that Pierrot tickled Columbine to death.....I digress, this is fabulous my friend, your colouring is incredible as always. No one does "orange and yellow" quite like you. Brilliant!!!!
