This painting is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me. The characters were part of a traveling "medicine show" that was formed by myself and others looking for a venue for our creative talents in the late 1970's. It was painted from a photograph and I have used my artistic license to change some of their looks and eliminated others for the composition. It was a fun and crazy time for us all that were involved, and the process of depicting the time took me back. I may be inspired to do a whole series of this arena and group. In these mean spirited times, a little reminder of laughter and music lures me to spread the feeling.
