  I recently arranged some pictures of children playing on the beach for painting. In the following paintings, I want to portray their body language to express my inspiration by these energetic kids.

  Here is my last one of painting of the Mr. Happy Clown. Somehow, he reminds me of the saying "Get Up, Dress Up and Show Up". Sometimes we have to put on a "happy clown face" to show up in the public making everyday "sparkling". Hope my little happy clown paintings make your day special!
