The assignment was to "have a ball." I combined that with another assignment "to work with mistakes or accidents." Almost all the work I really like is accidental! I usually clean off my extra paint when I finish and slap it on to small canvases. Some of these "grow" eventually into something likable. So this is how "Juggler" was born. I enhanced the clown figure juggling balls of different sizes. I like this happy little piece. It has lots of texture, some printed and some etched. He isn't a particularly happy clown; I imagine him juggling his emotions - happy and sad - as they come his way.
