Dairy Queen, Victoria

The owner of the DairyQueen on Douglas St. in Victoria had two carved wooden carousel horses as decor in his restaurant. When he decided to renovate he wanted to use those as the starting point for the design on the glass dividers. This was in the days before Google so I went to the library and borrowed all the books they had on carousel horses. There were some beautiful books with pictures of beautiful horses. I picked my favorites and arranged them so they were alternately standing and jumping to get the feel of movement. I made a border that I think had the feel of a fun fair and put each of the horses on a pole, that might make them move up and down if they had actually been on a carousel.
