Description

This cheerful art piece was inspired by the giant ice cream cone refreshment booths that I have seen at many carnivals. I think they have a fun, delightful look to them.
..........................................
In this artwork, the giant cone is in the foreground, with a customer standing at the window. A small boy in a cowboy hat stands nearby. Further back are colorful tents, with people milling about the carnival. The sky is blue, with white fluffy cumulus clouds. Although the scene is entirely possible, the hot air balloons give it a surreal look.
.........................................
Some of the colors here are white, blue, yellow, golden brown or orange, green, and a little red. There is a happy and light atmosphere to the painting. The original of this piece has been sold, and was painted by hand in acrylic. Most of my artworks are done by hand, sometimes by drawing, but usually by painting. I prefer to paint by hand; I like to get into the brushes and the paint, getting it on my hands from time to time--those are the times that no brush can beat my fingers for getting the proper effect.
.....................................
I hope you enjoy this artwork. Reality is so surreal.
