Carlyn said: STEP RIGHT UP!...into the golden age of the circus. See the grace of the bareback rider, the daring of the acrobat, the strangeness of the bearded lady, and the delight of the dancing pigs! | |||||

Great work! The effort you must have put in (see, I read your blog) really shows through. The style and pallete create a very distinct and memorable atmosphere.

Hi Carlyn,
I think everyone at some point in their lives has thought about running away to join the circus. I know I did. Thanks for adding me!

The Shriners are a Masonic organization (think grand poobahs and secret handshakes). They do a nice little circus-- I thought it was national, but it may just be East coast-- we saw them in Pittsburgh. My favorite this time was the tigers!

Hi, Carlyn!
Yes, I do paint digitally. I love photoshop-- such a wonderful tool for control freaks...
;o)
I like art rage, too.
We just took the kids to the Shriners Circus, and I kept thinking about your images. What is your favorite medium?
