The Sky’s Carousel
A late-night painting that started with way too much planning and ended with pure instinct. I wanted to capture the glow of a Ferris wheel against the night — not the noise or excitement, but that soft moment where everything just hums quietly in the dark.
Year :
The Sky’s Carousel
Industry :
Nostalgic, glowing, quiet
Client :
Poster Color and Acrylic
Project Duration :
October 2025
The Sketch
It all started with a super detailed sketch — every spoke, every gondola perfectly mapped out. I was so proud of it. It took me forever. Then I painted the background, and… the sketch disappeared completely. I just sat there staring at this flat dark blue sheet like, well, that’s gone.

The First Gondola
After a bit of sulking (and music), I decided to just go for it. No sketch, no plan. I started painting the front red gondola, and honestly, it took me forever. Every brushstroke felt risky, but somewhere in that slow process, I started to relax. It didn’t have to be perfect — it just had to feel right.
This painting is pretty different from my normal artstyle (even though mine is very inconsistent), it's not what I'm used to. This might sound a bit arrogant, but while painting the gondola i couldn't help but be reminded of "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer and how the pearl earring itself isn't actually very detailed or clear, its basically just a grey smudge, and maybe if you look closely you'll be able to see the same spirit in my painting.
The Wheel Appears
Once that first gondola was done, things got faster. I painted a few more, and the rhythm kind of built itself. Then came the part I was dreading — the actual structure of the Ferris wheel. The poles and structure of the ferris wheel was the part I was the most scared of for the painting itself. I drew the lines so carefully, like I was defusing a bomb or something. But when it all connected, it suddenly looked real. That was the best feeling.
Lights On
The last step was the lights — and that’s when everything came alive. Those glowing spokes against the dark background made the whole thing feel warm, like it was really spinning.
And just like that, The Sky’s Carousel was finished. I started the night frustrated and tired, but somehow ended up with a piece that feels peaceful, a little messy, and completely mine.
