Twirl

A few nights ago I had a dream that I was on one of these carnival rides that take you up in the air and twirl you around.  The trouble was the ride wouldn't work and we couldn't get off the ground so we were running along the ground as the ride turned slowly.  I won't try and interpret this for you.   I just love the image and it gave me the idea for this little twirling ACEO.
I love dreams.  I get such great ideas from them!

I remember that ride! I love the silhouettes against all that great color and texture. There's really a feeling of movement.

Dreams are great fodder for pictures. This is lovely, though a little dark. I'm not sure I'd want to go on that ride. It really gives me an uneasy feeling.

I'm actually afraid of heights and rides like these. I think it comes through in the picture.

Wonderful illustration. Your image captures fond memories of summer nights at the Boardwalk carnival rides! I really like your color and composition.

It really captures the quality of a dream, a little disturbing as you described it. I find this aceo awesome, very very evocative.
