Ferris Wheel - oil on canvas - 47" x 58"
Symbolism – the ups and downs of life, exemplified by the Ferris wheel. The child enters. The mother protects. The world awaits.
The Ferris wheel itself was photographed years ago on the Outer Banks of North Carlolina.
“Ferris Wheel” was featured in the Windmills and Ferris wheel group in August 2009.
The day before Independence Day 2009 in the United States, Dave Martsolf installed two major oil paintings for public view in Boston, Masachusetts.
The painting shown here with wife / mentor Emma looking on now hangs at the foyer entryway of the ArtMarket Gallery on Washington Street in Boston, the heart of the city’s commercial district.
The installation is a temporary one until Martsolf can compete two large 6’ x 4’ paintings that will completely cover the shadow image on the wood paneling left by the previous tenant. Work on those two pieces will begin shortly, consisting of enlarged versions of two of his recent watercolored pen and ink drawings.
Until then, “Ferris Wheel” will beckon passersby into the gallery.
