With the second sale on Fine Art America of another Carousel themed
photo I think it's time to give my happiness machines a space of their
own on my website. My thanks to John for starting me on my journey
of visiting these wonderful examples of fine American Folk art and also
encouraging me to share some of my pleasures with others around the
world via the Internet.
Many of these images are now available for sale at Fine Art America
both as beautiful framed and matted giclee prints and 5 x 7 inch photo
note cards.

First some photos of part of my always expanding miniature figurine collection
which currently has taken up most of my living room besides having something of
carousels in every room of my apartment. There have been times in the past when
these pieces have been in storage and I can not even begin to tell you how much I
missed not having them surrounding me. Should I find the need to put them in
storage every again I will contact the New England Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT
and see if they would like to display them for awhile.

Some of the examples on display at the New England Carousel Museum during the
Winter of 2001. My first travel solely for the adventure of visiting carousel pieces.

| My magical and happy Carousels Let the magic touch the child in you |
Since beginning this enjoyable adventure I have been able to admire carousels in
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire
and even Paris, France. If you have a particular carousel in the North East area that
you might be interested in having a photo just contact me and I will delve through
my files.
My most recent visit was to the fantastically restored carousel in Holyoke, MA.
Some photos are posted on my Fine Art America profile and soon I will share some
of my favorite images here. There is also an article on www.carousels.com with the
information I learned on that visit.

| John T. Hicky called the PT#80 Merry-Go-Round his "Happiness Machine". This historic and beautiful carousel now operates at the Heritage State Park in Holyoke, MA. These are two of my favorite images from that visit. I'm having a hard time deciding which I want to create a painting of first. |
For this shot of the entire carousel I have
created a digitally matted poster.
