Carnival Candy

Ticket Booth

10" x 6"

Acrylic on panel

This is the fourth painting in my carnival series! Initially, my intention was to make a quick study. I felt like the painting was going well, so I added a little more detail, and then a little more, and suddenly it had taken another turn. Painting this series has taught me a lot about practicing reflections, knowing what to put in and what to leave out. This one took me awhile and I'm really proud of it. It recently was accepted into Women Painters of the Southeast's Second Annual Juried Members Exhibition. The show will be at The Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association in Blue Ridge, Georgia April 10 - May 1

I decided to start experimenting with the carnival series...here is a close up of a ride in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. I wasn't sure how I was going to approach painting this. In real life there were badly painted skulls and a spray painted grim reaper, which I think adds to it's charm. I love stuff like this...it reminds me of a movie I loved as a kid...KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park, which is so over the top and tacky that it's good, and for me nostalgic.

I'd like to keep experimenting with this concept.

The ticket booth is the star of the show in this piece! I think of it as a magic box with globe lights and colorful reflections...the entrance to the carnival...

This is the second study in my carnival series. I had a lot of fun with this one! I've always been terrified of clowns, from a very young age (before I knew about IT or Attack of the Killer Clowns)...I would have to sit waay up high in the bleachers when my parents took me to the circus and once around the same time period my mom took me to the mall and there happened to be a clown convention...traumatizing. I'm not really afraid of clowns anymore, and I love this little scene!
