Pat Tolar Circus Tent Clown Trio Southern Folk Art Painting 2005 Puffy Clouds

A happy and FUN original southern folk art painting of a trio of clowns - colorfully depicted - running towards the circus tent under a perfect ethereal blue sky with with puffy ( literally, impasto ) clouds descending in perspective as are the puffy green lollipop styled trees under them. Bought this in downtown Vicksburg, Mississippi’s “The Attic Gallery”- a reputable art gallery since 1971. It was hung in my son’s bright modern nursery and toddler bedroom but as he grown into a tween - his style has changed and we don’t have a place for it. * note : A small nick on the canvas on largest tree and some minor rubs near signature in dark green grass area ( thanks movers !!!! ) but well taken care of in a smoke-free home. I hung it with a colorful stripe grosgrain ribbon for added appeal but it doesn’t have to be used as the canvas already has a wire hanger in place - see photos for both ways of display. It is a one-of-a-kind art piece!! We paid $95 for it in 2005.
