There is so much to feel in this work of art Gerald! The sense of summer is easy to extract from the image, but there is something beyond summer, perhaps a lingering memory of many days ago! Wonderful work! Your portfolio is filled with wonder!!! ~S

Gerald, this is a very creative and whimsical painting. I love our choice of the icons of childhood, the large balloon, ferris wheel, roller coaster bringing back memories of the joyful freedom of childhood. The images of the children are charming.

What a great piece! It reflects that happy atmosphere we all love in the amusement parks. This is a wonderful painting with the blue and red colors, and your great red balloon is just a master stroke. How did you get that magnificent red? I can't do it!

Artist Reply: i painted the baloon in shades of blue first, let dry then came back on it with tow or three coast of lake red in glazes... here where you can read about glazes http://painting.about.com/od/oilpainting/a/GeraldD_glazing.htm?nl=1 --- thank you so much!
