PLEASE NOTE: (Requires Stretching) - This artwork is offered UN-STRETCHED and is shipped, rolled in a tube.

'Big Top Runaway ' is an original painting by Cheryl Harrison.

Dashes of playful magenta, warm blush, dusty pink, and subtle peach pair with hints of lemon, olive green, and crimson across an expansive backdrop of unprimed raw canvas.
Loose handwritten text of the title and energetic line work stir a quiet, nostalgic longing for that childhood dream of running away with the visiting circus.
While a melancholic sense of a fleeting performance lingers, the swirling energy carries a beautiful, uplifting hope for whatever lies ahead.

This painting is initialed on the front and signed and titled on the back with a Letter of Authenticity.

This artwork is offered un-stretched as it makes very large scale work more affordable and safer to transport. When stretched, the painting imagery extends around the edges, which allows the painting to look great with or without a decorative frame.

This original artwork comes rolled in a tube, ready for stretching & framing.
