This is the unique original Watercolour painting by Jose Ortiz.

A fabulous watercolour inspired by the characters of Fellini's film La Strada. The clown, strongman and acrobat meet a child with proud parents.

Painted for Hey Diddle Diddle Magazine No 44, Ortiz paints using several watercolour techniques and demonstrates his fluid style which lends itself perfectly to youthful subject matter. This is the perfect opportunity to own a piece by Ortiz, who painted prolifically throughout his lifetime for youth publications, strips and comics including The Eagle and 2000AD.
