Childhood Dreams - Later Alligator by

This ride had me laughing and feeling a bit worried at the same time. It looked pretty real. Can you imagine putting a little tyke on this? I saw some of them begging to ride this critter. LOL! Adventerous little rug rats. :o)

Created from a sketch, painted in Photoshop using natural media brushes and my impressionistic style. This had 4 layers and took about 5.5 hours to complete.

    My oh my, no I wouldn’t have guessed, makes me wonder if this particular carousel had a theme and what the other critters were! Now I’m wondering if Disneyland or Disney World have theme carousels, I must find out! This chap is about as jolly as possible, but I can still imagine some kids not enjoying him one bit.

  • LOL! I have found several very cool carousels. I feel fortunate. I hope to get to Navy Pier in Chicago soon. :o)
