Transcending the everyday, Carousels let us travel time and space, going to exotic places and back to innocence. What more could anyone ask for? This painting was a real joy to do, getting to know each animal, each nook and cranny of the structure. I have another version about 1/2 done - I think I will do a whole series of these. If you have a favorite carousel animal or story, share it here!

Wonderful Terry. You have really captured the joy here!
I'm looking forward to your series. It's going to be really wonderful.

Thanks Seth & Paz - I'm hoping to post the next carousel by the end of the week -
Hi, Terry. Noticed you at Seth's place! I really like the "things you can lose," "things you can stack." The colors of the state fair picture do look a little bit richer on your Web site. They are both good, though. Green chile dog! Sounds great. My son lives in Poaque (sp?) New Mexico is certainly "the place" for art. I need to go visit him again so I can tour Santa Fe and dip my toes in the Rio Grande! - Jeanne in Oregon
Thanks for stopping by, Jeanne! If you visit Pojoaque (I had to look up the spelling!) there are so many great things to do in that part of the State. Bandelier and Tent Rock nat. monuments if you like to be outdoors; and of course, days can be lost in Santa Fe galleries! I have a brother in Mollala - is that anywhere near you?
