Idora Ghost #9, Original Painting

2018

Artist Comments
The photographs that form the head of this catlike creature are images of the carousel from the amusement park Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio that is long gone. Floating behind it, painted in gold, are important dates in American history of the seventies and early eighties, about the time that this park was dying. The artwork has been mounted on 12" x 8" foam board for stability.
