Carousel Memories

Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com

Today I spent hours sitting with Darryl in the Oncology day ward as they dripped chemotherapy into his veins. As I sat I drew and we remembered the days when we were young and went to Luna Park together. The Carousel bought back memories of carefree days, of the giggle palace, mirror maze, river boat ride and old ghost train. These days we ride a far different carousel and wonder when the ride will end.

Your sketching is becoming so professional. I love this one. It reminds me of those other days when a ride on a carousel was a big adventure.

When you think about it, life is a carousel, is it not?

thanks Vi. Even I looked at this image and thought WOW. They are so beautiful. And yes! Life is a carousel and some riders slip off along the way.

Sorry we missed you Lois. The carousel horses always had an allure and I am happy with the way these turned out. I can see might just become addicted to drawing them. Very therapeutic.
