More About This Painting
One of my vague memories of my early childhood is going to the circus. I think my dad loved it as much as I did. After his death his father took me there as well, and I have a very vivid remembrance of a lion in his cage urinating on me. I thought it was warm rain, and grandpa got a healthy laugh over it. After that I always wanted to go and especially see the lions.
