CAROUSEL HORSE STUDY no. B257

This is a study based on a photograph my friend Mike Beckett tookof the vintage 1920 Antique Merry-Go-Round at Fort Edmonton Park. It really should be done much larger, but I wanted to see if I could even paint this first. :)

Also, I could not possibly paint carousel horses without adding some glitz. This one has metallic gold acrylic on the poles, tent curtains, and various places on the horses.
