Luna Park Melbourne Pillows

I've always been fascinated by the big face at Luna Park , Melbourne. I have never been tempted to go in, but the face looked so fun to draw. Not sure if this is supposed to be some version of a clown. My painting was not intended to be scary, but it has turned out that way. I've heard that little children are afraid to go inside, through the mouth/gateway. I did this in a Bill Kerr's painting class . It was done in Acrylics on canvas. I used brushes and a palette knife. It still has that unfinished look about, it after living with it for a while and receiving some positive feedback from a friend, whose opinion I respect, I have decided that I'm not going to work on it any more. I may attempt it again, since this one is relative...

This is the ferris wheel of Luna Park, Melbourne. (Australia). I shot this through the main gates, as the park was closed to the public. It reminded me of when I used to go as a child, there was really nothing more exciting than a theme park, carnival or anything that had show bags to take home! Life was so simple then. _This one is dedicated to two of my best friend's new addition to the family: Sienna Antoinette Leonard.
