L.A. McMillen
Oil painting of Clown

c. 1930s

About the Item

This is a painting done by the American artist L.A. McMillen. It is signed lower right and is in excellent condition for the period. This shows a clown scene with the face of a man in the curtain as well as a carnival in the background. The carnival details all around the clown, both laying on the floor and surrounding him in the painting, truly tie together the character of this charming painting. The color scheme mainly features primary colors in the main subjects to emphasize them, while keeping a muted palette in the background. The expressions on the characters in the painting tell the whole story and are very well done. This painting is circa 1920s and is in great condition for its period!

Enjoying Old Times
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
"Enjoying Old Times" by Charles Baker captures a poignant and joyful moment in the life of an older man, immersed in the beauty of nature. The painting features the man in the midst of a hike, his weathered walking stick in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in the other. His gaze is fixed on the bottle, a focused and content expression playing on his lips, suggesting a celebration of memories or perhaps a spontaneous toast to the present moment. Baker’s use of warm, earthy tones highlights the natural surroundings, with the man standing against a backdrop of greenery, a rocky path, and a clear, open sky. The composition is rich in detail, from the rugged texture of the man’s clothes...
