I've never been to a real circus, but as a kid I always wanted to go to one.
At my current age - definitely a senior citizen - I'm conflicted about circuses. I don't know how circuses are considered nowadays, but I think some people worry about the animals.
I think the athleticism and expertise of the circus acts are commendable and very exciting, the clowns are funny, but have always scared me a little, and I guess I must worry about the animals a bit, too, because this is how my artwork turned out for this challenge.
Originally my plan was to do some art containing a happy clown, but I just couldn't make that happen. So here we are. I do love elephants, but I don't think they are still workers in current circuses.
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time...

Wonderful digital art, love it 💚 I agree a circus is not the most happy place to animals. I was in a circus in 60s, so long time ago.
Have a happy September 🌺
A sad clown, an unhappy elephant, a little pretty doll and some well-advised words...
Well, that makes a very beautiful image, filled with feelings and poetry.
Well played Barb!
Fantastic response to the prompt. Barb, Thanks for dropping by my blog.
Much💛love
this is absolutely MARVELOUS! xo
Lovely quirky piece. Love it.
This is wonderful what a great imagination. I love the elephant on the bubble.
Thanks, Sirkkis! Your circus in the 60s must have been quite an experience. Happy September to you, as well!
Thank you, Sim. I was a bit nervous about being a "circus downer" on this piece, but it just came together this way, and I ended up loving it. It might be one of my favorites. I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks, Gillena! A Circus Time challenge is so open-ended, I imagine we'll get a lot of different ideas on this theme. Lots of good artwork so far!
Thank you, Michele, I'm so happy you liked it! :)
Haha, Taluula, that's exactly how I saw it - I loved it but wondered if it wasn't TOO quirky! And I ended up loving it. Thanks for commenting!
Hi Deann! Thank you - That's the graphic I started with - I had other ideas, but that elephant kept coming back to me so I worked around him. I love elephants! 🐘
Well, this is fun!!!!!!!!
Great art piece and I agree with the points you made about circuses.
