Red Skelton the Artist Many people didn't know that all the while Red was performing comedy for the public he was secretly working on his skills as an artist. Red Skelton began his artwork in 1943, as a way to relax, but kept his works private for many years. It has been reported that he said he was inspired to try his hand at painting after visiting a large Chicago department store that had various paintings on display. Inquiring as to the price of one which Skelton described as "a bunch of blotches", he was told, "Ten thousand wouldn't buy that one." Red said he told the clerk he was one of the ten thousand who would not buy that one, instead he started buying his own art materials. When asked if he was a good artist it is reported that he would say I'm no Michaelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci,....but then again what have they painted lately:)! His wife, Georgia, a former art student, persuaded Skelton to have his first public showing of his work in 1964 at the Las Vegas hotel where he was entertaining at the time. Today many of Red Skelton originals are priced at $80,000 and more. Art Corporation of America is fortunate to have one of the largest collections of Red Skelton's paintings, collectibles, and sketches. Most of them are signed (remarked) by Red Skelton personally and all are limited editions or originals. "Goodnight now and may God bless"

Skelton was a great writer of both short stories and music. Skelton slept only four or five hours a night, would get up at 5 AM and begin writing stories, music and painting. He wrote at least one short story a week and had composed over 8,000 songs and symphonies. Skelton was also interested in photography. When attending Hollywood parties, he would take photos and give the films to the newspaper reporters who were gathered outside of the celebration but were not able to get in to take their own photos. Skelton kept a photographic record of each of his oil paintings. He was also an avid gardener who created his own Japanese garden and bonzai trees where he lived in his Palm Springs home Red Skelton Artist, Red Skelton Paintings, Red Skelton Clown paintings, Red Skelton Clowns, clown paintings by Red Skelton, Red Skelton Tribute Artist, Red Skelton Impersonator �Christmas Again� Limited reproduction on canvas, hand signed by the artist, Red Skelton and individually numbered 147 of 5000.
