/ July 23, 2012Poor guy…I like how you muted the colours to match his mood, Deb. And i hope you’re feeling a whole lot brighter than he is 🙂
Deb
/ July 23, 2012I feel a whole lot better than this clown appears to feel! I just got into painting clowns yesterday, so don’t be surprised if you see more. !
Thanks Kathryn! Have a great day, and remember….Think happy thoughts! 🙂 😉

/ July 23, 2012You did an awesome job in capturing his melancholy state, Deb! And your poem is an uplifting start for a new week! Thank you! And, for some reason, I had to enter my user name and password to comment, even though I’m signed in to my blog. It may be just another WP glitch! Happy hugs to you! xoxo
Deb
/ July 23, 2012I’ve had that happen to me before, and check this out…One time I tried to leave a comment and it said I was trying to make a comment as one of my other commenter…go figure that. I cleared my cache and it fixed it right up…You try that too, it can’t hurt.
Thank you for the comment on my clown painting and poem, Lauren! Glad it gave you a lift….happy thoughts now! 🙂 😉
Happy hugs right back atcha! 🙂 xoxo

Still Leo Sayer said it all: “There’s nothing sadder than the tears of a clown when there’s no-one around…”

/ July 23, 2012O. I’m so unhappy right now … I know how he feels, Deb, , my friend … wishing you happiness … Love, cat.
Deb
/ July 23, 2012Oh Cat! I don’t know what’s making you unhappy, but don’t want you to feel that way. If it is due to thoughts, then change what you are thinking to something happy.
Send you much love and hugs! xoxo

/ July 24, 2012Very beautiful and powerful message! His face looks like us when we are deprived of your grace, and sincere caring love. You always share something wonderful that brings radiant smiles into our lives! Awesome post Deb!
Deb
/ July 24, 2012We all need to examine what we think about. First comes the thought, then comes the feelings.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Thanks Wendell! 🙂 xo

Novroz
/ July 25, 2012A clown should be happy not sad 😦 poor clown.
nice story and painting deb 🙂
Deb
/ July 30, 2012Yes, well behind many happy clown faces are hidden secrets. At least a sad clown expresses his true feelings.
I put up a happy clown after this one though. 🙂
Thanks Novroz!
