I don't know if I would classify this as a treasure, but this was also found at the garage sale.
I find clowns to be very scary, and this is no exception. It's in perfect condition, copper/enamel, and a Bovano.
At the very least I thought it might put fear into Toracat's little friend.
LOL!!! VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Creepy clowns !! I don't care how vintage or valuable...lol, I'm with you Amber. Volunteer's of America had someones huge collection of original clown paintings. I couldn't get out of there fast enough that day, but someone bought them. They were gone the next day....the store was finally safe !
Scary as hell! :(
http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/65630-oil-painting-of-emmitt-kelly-worlds-mo Hi Simon and I like clowns!! See Emmett! He and Simon are going to getcha, getcha, getcha!!! Ahhahaha! Actually we love you! Take care!
When Emmett Kelly was young he was the best trapeze man, young daring man on the flying trapeze! Later when older became a clown. Ilona said he was a very sad man and took her a long time to paint his wrinkles and hair. If you see any of her paintings, grab them as she is popular in Europe and well here she will be famous someday!
Yes, I do find clown scary but I haven't let them scare me out of a store Mike! Get the feeling though I might have avoided corners...
Great tip Toracat! Will keep an eye out for her work. Hug to you!
Thank you for all the loves despite how creepy the clown is...
