Miss Gloria and her wonder horse, Trixie, appeared in my sketchbook this week in response to thoughts about the Big Top. At one time in my life, owning a horse trumped all other desires. And of course, I would love to join the circus.

Thank you to the amazing Helen at Objects of Whimsey for this star-studded challenge. Much more circus action over there - go have a look!

I am loving Miss Gloria's green tights, and Trixie's smile. What a lovely smile has Trixie. Love the name and love how well she performs to hold up Miss Gloria. Clearly these two are a loving team and enjoy giving us thrills and chills with their daring feats. Love the child like quality of this drawing. Gorgeous as always, *smiles* Norma, xo
ReplyDeleteSus, watching Miss Gloria and Trixie's tricks would be the highlight of many a girl's circus dreams! Circus life never appealed to me due to the many scary clowns hanging about! xo Carole
