Hello Everyone,
While I painted Pat’s painting I wanted company so I took advantage of the Painting Live feature on Facebook and painted most of it live… So here they all are in one place… enjoy take a snooze … come back I will still be working on it… lol I actually painted for 65.5 + hours not sure how much exactly was live but a good portion.
Love ya all
Patty Sue O’Hair-Vicknair
Clown artist to the world.
I am so honored to be allowed to paint Pat Cashin. You can tell by the many posts on Facebook he was beloved in the clown world. Friends and family have lost a truly wonderful person who really loved to make people laugh. His big boisterous laugh that made you laugh till your sides hurt will be missed.
When I initially contacted Pat about painting his portrait as part of my series he graciously consented. I asked him at the World Wide Circus Summit in July of 2015. Then over the last year I asked him again because I had a bad bike wreck and my memory was/is a little off and he reminded me that he had given consent.
The image I was mostly interested in was the one you see on Facebook a lot with the bright colors which is the same clown but a different pose as the center one in my painting. I thought it would make a great painting for my series. I still may paint it if Terry will let me as part of the series. He was supposed to be #34 in my series… I am only on #27 and #28 will be started as soon as I finish the art studio revamp murals… In the meantime I felt the overwhelming urge that I just had to paint him NOW…. so I asked and Terry said I could.
I was just going to paint the one image I had in mind…. however the painting took on a life of its own. I don’t know if any of you have ever painted in watercolor but usually watercolors are not this vibrant or as detailed…. (Which is kind of what I am know for, locally.)
To paint 5 images of the same person in different makeup and hair and outfits and have them all turn out looking like my conception that I printed and how I envisioned it in my head is well CRAZY DIFFICULT… and to do it in unforgiving watercolor…. on my.
So I spent 65.5 + hours which if I were sell it in a gallery I would ask $2500. for my take home pay which only comes out at 38 dollars an hour…. But I have a heart for clowns and tend to offer cheaper to them because I know that usually they are not rolling in dough unless the gag requires it… so I probably will sell it for $600. Which doesn’t come out to very much per hour. So as you can see I don’t do it for the $$$ but because I love it.. I do not have the time to deal with galleries, so if you’re interested you will have to contact me for prints or the original.
I pay to each of my clowns 25% above my cost. So understand they get a piece of the pie so they are happy when we have a sale.
For right now the only way to get a print is to order direct from me. Each print comes with a Signed Certificate of Authenticity and is signed by me. Then they are shipped to you in the least expensive way I can and still protect the print and get it to you fast.
Giclee Fine Art Paper Prints:
9 X 12 $45. + shipping to you (easiest to ship in Photo mailer $6.00)
11 X 14 $65. + shipping to you
16 X 20 $116. + shipping to you
18 X 24 $135. + shipping to you
Giclee Prints on Canvas: 1 inch thick black sides with wire ready to hang.
9 X 12 – $100 11 X 14 – $125
16 X 20 – $200 18 x 24 – $250
+ Shipping to you
Anything larger then that is possible but I would have to check with my printer.

Title “The Many Faces Of Pat Cashin”
The many faces of Pat Cashin” – I figure I have 65.5 hours into the creation of this painting. Thanks to everyone who joined me for the facebook live sessions while I was painting it.
The original is going to his wife- Terry, prints are available.
Original Watercolor 24 X 18 on Arches Cold pressed paper.
Painted with permission of Pat Cashin Family
As you all know we lost Pat recently. I had him on my list to paint but I was to late to get it to him so he could enjoy it. His family has asked for the original and prints for the boys, so I am trying to do the best that I can.

The basic sketch
The first Pat Cashin Clown photo from his wedding..
This clown was his white face clown. This is how he dressed when I met him at the World Wide Circus Summit in 2015
This is his fun Clown Look. Most colorful of the bunch.
He was also Captain Kangaroo
This is his crazy or nutty Professor look.
I will post one more post on this painting which will have links to all the videos of me painting it…
Patrick Cashin
AGE: 48 • Tinton Falls
Patrick Cashin, 48, of Tinton Falls, NJ – husband, father, Clown, Santa, Captain Kangaroo, and all-around comedian and entertainer, passed away suddenly at home on Sunday, July 24, 2016. He was married to Terry Cashin in full clown makeup and attire in Madison Square Garden before performing at the Ringling Brothers Circus, but his greatest source of accomplishment was being a terrific father to his two young sons, Shane and James.
In 2011, the Alumni Path Foundation recognized him, Cedar Ridge Class of 1985, for his legacy and recognition in Arts and Entertainment. He also graduated Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, NJ, Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ, and Ringling Brothers Clown College, Sarasota, FL. He was a stand-up comedian for several years at Rascals Comedy Club and many other events and locations, but longed to be a circus clown since he was a very young boy. He fulfilled his dream by working for Ringling Brothers as a Circus Clown, various shrine circuses, and many others – most recently as the Salaam Shriner’s Circus as the Director of Clowning.
He enjoyed playing the father in a well-respected Super Bowl Visa commercial in 2001 (the one with the multiplying bunny rabbits). He gave generously of his time to the Jersey Shore University Medical Center Pediatrics Department as a clown, as a Santa, with special needs children, and many other characters. He worked tirelessly toward improving the awareness of clown history and served as a board member and as the President of the International Clown Hall of Fame in Baraboo, WI.
The highlight of each year was being Santa at the Galleria (with his puppy Knucklehead), Red Bank, NJ. He was also an award-winning Santa in 2015 at Great Adventure, Jackson, NJ. Pat’s adventures in clowning took him to China, Singapore, Malaysia, and Spain. He also walked in many parades with his varied clown faces / costumes, and as his beloved Captain Kangaroo, many with his prized clown car, and he inspired his children to join him for many of these events. Pat also had the distinct honor of performing for the First Family at the annual White House Halloween Party.
Pat is survived by his wife, Terry, two sons, Shane and James, and his puppy, Honey Bear, Tinton Falls, NJ, his mother, Marilyn Flynn, Edison, NJ, his brother, Dennis, Edison, NJ, and two brothers and their wives, Joseph and Denise, Washington, NJ and Sean and Stacey, Edison, NJ. He was predeceased by his father, Joseph Cashin. He is also survived by his in-laws, Holly and Ron Williams, Brick, NJ, and two sisters-in-law and their husbands, Debi and Dave Glenn, and Patti and Manny Bosques, all in Wilmington, NC.
Pat was in his element entertaining his five nieces and seven nephews and many other family members, including aunts, uncles and cousins, close friends, as well as friends around the world.
Pat’s contribution to the entertainment world stretched the globe, honing his natural talent and showmanship from his hometown to bringing laughter and applause worldwide.
Relatives and friends of Pat are invited to attend a Celebration of Life at Johnson McGinley Funeral Home, 2652 Highway 138, Wall, NJ on Monday August 15, 2016 between 3:00 – 6:00 PM. A service will start at 6 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to www.gofundme.com/patrickcashin for his children’s education. Additionally, a contribution to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey, or the International Clown Hall of Fame, Baraboo, WI, would be greatly appreciated.

About The Artist:
Why I paint Clowns: For the record I do paint other things besides clowns but I have a passion and a love for clowns. I paint my clown images with pride. Many of the clowns I have met in person, or I am friends with on Facebook. Some I have sought out because I came across a photo I liked. Others have found out about my work through their friends and came to me. Each image is personally vetted. I am looking for a certain look or feel from my paintings. Not every image presented to me is right for a painting.
I am a skilled artist. I paint both in acrylic and watercolor. Neither of these mediums are easy or forgiving (especially watercolor). I have spent 45 years perfecting my skill. The fact that, I as an artist choose to paint some of the sweetest, funniest, most colorful, and always happy portraits you will ever find anywhere, is a matter of personal choice.
I realize that not everyone will get it or be on board with what I do. I realize there is a select market for my work. I am ok with this. I have faith that the clown and circus industry will surround me with love and laughter and purchase my paintings and prints. This is a very select market to sell to – I get it. You either love clowns or you don’t. I have been working for years to earn the trust of my clown friends and I will do my best to depict their clown persona, so that those who have had the pleasure of interacting with that clown in the past can remember and cherish those memories every time they look at one of my prints or paintings.
I am striving to be the best artist who paints clowns, I am following on the heels of Jim Howle (whom I have met and truly love) and Red Skelton (whom I wish I had met) I am not comparing my skill to theirs, but those are who I relate to. … It is an honor to truly depict the magic of a clown, to catch the sparkle in the eye that has delighted thousands of children. If you’re good to the clown world they will be good to you. Sincerely Patty Sue O’Hair – Vicknair.

About the Artist:
I have painted clowns for several years. Until recently I focused on painting them in Acrylics on canvas, but I have renewed my love of Watercolor and I am currently working on a series of paintings that incorporates great clowns (most of whom I have made friends with on Facebook) and watercolor on small affordable 9 x 12 watercolor paintings. My goal is to create 75 watercolor clowns in the 9 X 12 size. I hope to sell thru Facebook or directly to the buyer and hopefully sell a few to the proud clown collectors out in the world.

I came across this cute image while looking thru some great photos that Beth Grimes and John Sayre AKA “JP Ballyhoo” had taken one afternoon while clowning around… I fell in love with the image. This has 2 clowns and would not fit in my 9 X 12 painting size so this one is actually bigger in order to do it justice. I had a little fun with the setting they are in and tried to mimic a park setting with flowers and critters you might find in a Disney landscape, full of fun and fantasy. I think it turned out wonderful and fun.
This image is on Canson 140 LB Watercolor paper 18 X 24. Each image will be mailed with a certificate of authenticity. Let me know if your interested .
Both Clowns have agreed to be interviewed for this blog so we should have a post on each of them shortly so you can get to know them better. I want to say thank you to both clowns for allowing me the pleasure of painting their clown personas!
I like to take pictures along the way as I paint so you can see the creation from start to finish. Enjoy! Leave me a note if you like the painting.
