The Jester, the artist has created a truly colorful piece, that induces happiness, and lightens the heart. On a dark gloomy day, this canvas brings a freshness, that washes away the darkness.
Also known as the clown, trickster, comedian, practical joker or the fool, the Jester is an archetype that is at peace with the paradoxes of the world. He uses humour to illuminate hypocrisy, and also level the playing field between those of power and those without.
(Artist note)
My Grandsons call me Crazy Nanny! From the age they learnt to talk this is how they refer to me, and I have to say I normally live up to the title. From Pre School, to Primary School, Oncology, to surgeons, to nurses, they all know Crazy Nanny.
To the boys, I am the Jester, the clown, and the person who is always willing to play their games, always ready to laugh, to play and be funny.
For them I would stand on my head, do back flips, and cart wheels, (if my body were willing) read for hours on end, play quick sand and crocodiles, they are my saviour, my super heros, and I am their Crazy Nanny!
