Painting Project Amusement: 'Amusement Park' by Gerald Dextraze

From Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

Painting Project Amusement: Gerald Dextraze© Gerald Dextraze 2006, oil on canvas 8x10"
From the Artist: Here's my interpretation. It's called Amusement park. It's 8x10" ... I paint small formats because it takes less storage space, and my need to create is met just the same.

From the Painting Guide: I always love the intense, saturated colors you have in your paintings Gerald, and the reds in this are no exception! And the more I look at it, the more I see in it. Sometimes I'm seeing flowers and dandelion heads, sometimes I'm seeing funfair rides and fireworks. (And I don't think it's because someone slipped something into my coffee this morning!)

Comments from the Painting Forum:
From Ruthie:
Looks like you let your imagination run totally wild. Gotta love that big red balloon!

From Papaya: It's very festive, I can feel the excitement in the air along with anticipation of going on the rides.
