Well, I found a bargain pack of 12x12 paper that was on clearance and marked way down.
The colors are pastel and the look is vintage circus and the fair in one.
Ferris Wheel and acrobats.
When I was 19 I took my two youngest brothers to a circus.
Dustin was 9 and Theron 8.
A real "old time" travelling circus with the tents and elephants came to town and settled in a large field next to where an old brick school had gone long neglected but still stood.
I will never forget the look of wild eyed excitement on their faces.
The smell of popcorn and salty peanuts in the night air.
Now one of the boys is grown and I am raising his son. Every once in awhile when I take Conrad and his dad Dustin to a fun place like the zoo,
my brother Dustin will tell me he remembers that day too.
The day of the circus.
