I don’t usually do portraits, but, as I believe I may have said on an older post, Red Skelton is like a god to me. Much of what I know about comedy, I learned from him back in the 60’s and early 70’s. I watched him religiously on Wednesday nights on both CBS and NBC (channels 5 from Mason City, Iowa, and 13 from Des Moines). He made me laugh. Sometimes he even made me cry. So I honor him now with a portrait (or insult him, depending on your opinion of my artwork) in a Paffooney of Red as Clem Kadiddlehopper, pride (or maybe village idiot) of Cornpone County, Tennessee.

You did Mr. Skelton justice. He looks like I remember. Hair and lips.
Thanks. I rarely get it right, which is why I don’t generally do portraits. But that is one face I will never forget.
I love his voice. Think I that’s what I won’t forget.
You captured him well as the man as clown radiates. I was always a fan esp appreciating his wholesome comedy.
That’s what I loved about him too. And every show ended with, “Good night, and may God bless…”
