About this work

This painting is split into four bright, messy boxes. The top left shows a blurry pink sky with a big white flower and a dark shape that looks like a building. The top right has a yellow ride with a purple spinning thing and a small horse. The bottom left is a crowd of black figures under a glowing moon. The bottom right shows two stick-like people in a ring with a clown’s face. The paint is thin in some spots and thick in others, with colors bleeding together. The artist mixed ink, watercolor, and oil to create this loose, energetic look. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
