August Carnival


Around the end of 2005 or beginning of 2006 I bought a bunch of vintage Fisher Price toys on eBay. I have many memories of playing with these toys in my early childhood. My mom had long since thrown my old toys away, so it had been years since I had seen them. It was amazing to receive these toys in the mail an examine them closely. Each little detail or feature of the toys that I examined brought back a flood of distant impressions and memories....it was really cool! The next few paintings I will post are from this "Fisher Price" series. They were a lot of fun to make. This painting is entitled "August Carnival". It is approximatley 48"x50".
