merry-go-round by *ingvildnilsen. Such a gorgeous, surrealistic take on something we all have memories of- merry-go-rounds. Twisting, the concept into something strange and fascinatingly beautiful. (Suggested by `synconi and Featured by $chix0r)

I am shocked and amazed to see something so glorious here on dA. It's been a while since I've seen something on a screen that made my breath stop for more than just a second.

A most surrealistic and other-worldly interpretation of something as familiar, at least to me, as a Merry-Go-Round... of life and the endless wonders it brings weaving in and about a neverending cycle. A bizarre, celebratory dance.

I feel some strong inspiration from Dante, though I could be mistaken.

May I ask if a gold tinge was applied to the finish? There something about it that reminds me of the sort of finish that Renaissance painters used :)

Either way, I'm grateful to my friend `TerrorCookie for showing me this, and to you, for sharing a small glimpse of your world with us :heart:

Wow! Thank you!!!
I really appreciate your comment!
Everything, and all the colures are painted from the start to the end....not applied to the finish.

Thanks' .....!

It's almost a crime to have to see this digitally... I wish I could stand in front of this in person :)
