Neverland Swings
12 x 16" oil
This painting is another angle on the swings at the fair. A carny told me it was once on the Neverland Ranch owned by Michael Jackson. I intend to paint a larger version of it in the near future.
Carnival Prizes
Here is a view of a stand where you threw a baseball to knock over bottles. I'm sure the advantage was in the favor of the carnival. The favorite of this stand were the Minons.
12 x 16" oil
Fair Tower
Fair Tower 11 x 14" Oil on Canvas board.... This is the last painting I did at the fair and had developed a practice of catching the rides as they moved. The carnies would test the rides before the public arrived. The red shape towards the middle was activated.

Children's Slide
"August 9 , 2015. 12x 12"
This was a painting that taught me to setup away from the entrance where the workers all entered. They expected a conversation while I was busy working. Headphones gave me a little excuse to ignore their jeers and questions.
Fair Swings #1
"Fair Swings" 12× 12" Oil
The color adjustment isn't quite right on this one. I hope to update it soon.
Fair setup
Here is my painting setup . Most days I look for shade to work in. It helps not having to have an umbrella .
