This painting is a reworked composition from a charcoal drawing completed over twenty years ago. I created the drawing from various carousel references, cobbled together into the new figure. I used this creation of the color workup as a way to stimulate my creative drive after an interruption in my painting by a death in the family. The painting is done in transparent watercolor and gouache on 140 lb. watercolor paper. I placed the figure against a background of aging brick that is interesting without getting in the way of the composition.
