The original photograph gave a feeling of sorrow and felt kind of creepy.  For some reason when I think of something creepy clowns immediately pop into my head, so I recreated the image using four of my friends and painted them to look like clowns.  I chose to paint tear drops and a frown on the girl's face to reflect the depression in the original piece. Henry Peach Robinson was the photographer of the original image, after researching him and his work I found that a lot of his work is very dark and morbid.  In the original the girl laying down is dying of tuberculosis, hence the feeling of depression.
