Tres Amigos


I recently finished this painting entitled Tres Amigos (Three Friends). The title may be a little misleading though. It's based on a couple of ventriloquist dummies I picked up for the museum collection and reads like the 3 stages of someones life (mine?): Youth-Happiness, the Sad Clown-Despair and Death. It's also about confronting your fears, since a lot of people are afraid of ventriloquist dummies, clowns and death.
