Flying Carpets

20" x 40" - watercolor

I’ve traveled all over the Middle East and North Africa, but never did I come across a carnival like “Flying Carpets”. While dreaming up another painting, I thought, “How fun!” Put together some of the vivid memories from my travels to these far away lands and situate them in a “fun fair” atmosphere!” That’s how “Flying Carpets” developed. Look closely and you’ll see camels instead of horses on the Merry-Go-Round, and other little ethnic inserts.
