This painting has quite an interesting lineage. It was originally acquired by T.E Dunne during the move to a new apartment. The previous tenant had abandoned the painting, and the building landlord had no information concerning the origin of the work. It subsequently came into my collection as the result of a trade involving 1/2 ownership of a sectional couch. This painting is so frightening that I actually could not display it until very recently. Every time I tried to hang the painting a severe case of the creeps set in and I had to remove the noxious clown from the walls. I could swear that the eyes were following me as I walked through my apartment. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the painting's origin and the lone inscription bearing the painting's title on the back of the canvas further increased my apprehension. I guess that the passage of time has made the work a more familiar presence, and therefore less loathsome.
