The Leprechaun 2016

"The Leprechaun", painted in 2016 by Joe Machine, is a whimsical depiction of a classic Irish folklore figure. The painting showcases a tall, dapper man in a waistcoat, standing over a seated leprechaun who is holding a stick and wearing a green jacket and hat. Surrounding them are scattered shoes and a checkerboard, hinting at a playful encounter or a potential bargain. The use of bold, outlined forms and bright colors creates a sense of playful energy and invites viewers to contemplate the playful relationship between the two characters.
