Carousel - Part 1

     I've been working on this carousel for the past week.  Every winter I do a big art project - this is the one for Winter 2015.  I'm starting to paint the animals now.  I had to do some thinking on this one and how to come up with how it was going to turn the carousel horse's as they go up and down and not go sideways as they go around.  I think I have it worked out.
     Here's photos of the process so far.  I will post two more after this.

New Pieces for 2015 - Part 6

      I finished the women on Saturday.  This is the first African-American piece I've ever done - I didn't paint her teapot, I thought it looked better in natural state.  I'm happy how the sap bucket ladies turned out. 
     I'll have the RCMP done for the next posting.
