Bill Tracy was a true artist in so many ways, not only in the realm of facades and stunts for dark rides and fun house attractions, but also as an avid painter and illustrator. Check out a painting Tracy completed in the early 1970s of a dark and snowy scene with a carnival visible in the background. A child can be seen standing on a hill holding a bright candle. His signature, “W Tracy,” is visible near the bottom right corner. He had a knack for capturing feeling and emotion in nearly everything he created, and this painting was no exception. Often, he’d gift his works to clients after he completed projects for them. Look forward to a repost from me some time this winter!
