Merry Go Round

Our monthly art mob event was at Oak Park Mall this morning. We met at the carousel and soon began our work. I first started my composition with an ink drawing, followed by watercolor. With the constant motion of the merry-go-round, I had to work quickly and loosely. One of the best parts of meeting monthly with fellow artists is getting to visit over lunch afterwards. We all display our work together for a quick photo, then off to lunch we go. Today was especially fun because these are my old stomping grounds where I grew up! This painting makes 1793 to in 1793 days.

  3. Quite an accomplishment, Tammie, on a moving object! Wonderful. I hope your luncheon was wonderful, too. My oldest daughter lives in Oak Park, IL which is right outside of Chicago and is the "hometown" of architect Frank Loyd Wright.
