Christmas Fantasy at Tilden Carousel

The Merry-Go-Round and decorations

The carousel in Tilden Park is beautiful; even more so at their special Tilden Christmas Fantasy  evenings-only event. It was fun trying out sketching in the dark on an iPad though I wasn't thrilled with the results. I get so overwhelmed But every time I try to sketch there I get overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds at the carousel I always seem to have trouble sketching there.

My sketch buddies posted their terrific sketches previously: Cathy's colorful merry-go-round here, Ceiny's coverage of it all here, Cristina's bold drawings here, and Micaela's lifelike digital sketches here.
