De-tails of an image in the CAROUSEL SERIES

A special 1921 carousel in the midst of the midway at Cedar Point, Sandusky Ohio, features a number of menagerie animals, carved by one of the master carvers of the American Carousel -- Daniel C. Muller. This angry and exciting tiger adorns that Dentzel-made carousel, and is reported to have been one of William Dentzel's personal favorite carousels.
Each piece in the carousel series is inspired by an emotion that I read from the carved figure. The emotion which influenced the Tiger was "aggression", with the strokes of pastel being loose, strong and confident.
Though seemingly angry, this tiger is representitive of the marvelous personality that the master carvers strove to input into their animals. I wanted to display that same level of serious artistry in my original pastel of this wonderfully fully carved Tiger on the Prowl.
