When the Circus comes to Town

Each on 12"x12" canvas.
 
A three-panel burst of energy created while listening to Phish. This triptych is less about depicting a literal circus and more about capturing the feeling of one arriving in town — color, movement, noise, rhythm and a little controlled chaos. Each panel works on its own, but together they create one continuous visual experience.
