Merry-go-round. by Shirley May

Comments

So hard to represent, yet you've done it brilliantly Shirley.

Thanks so much, Jim. Brighton Painting Group met on Saturday, and there is so much detail. So I’ve had another go to lighten it up and get some movement, hopefully.

A really lovely painting Shirley!

Such brilliant colours, very nice indeed

A brilliant painting Shirley. The fun of the fairground is clearly visible.

Thank you Louise, David and Spencer.

Full of energy and great colour Shirley.

That’s such a tricky subject Shirley, but you’ve captured the liveliness beautifully.

Well done Shirley, and not an easy subject.

More work on this to decrease the prominence of the handrail on the left, and get more movement and breeziest into it, as it was on Saturday. Palette knife very helpful.
