Balboa Bikes 'n Blues SOLD




















oil on canvas panel 10x8 inches
If there was a way to warn you about this one, I would have. It's REALLY different for me. See how I've been affected by that one word: "rectangle"?!!! Before I painted so much I was riding my bike(s) all the time. I love bikes for a lot of reasons I won't go into 'cause it's supposed to be about the painting. Anyway, this was painted on a black ground. The shadow made me take the picture. The color made me paint it. I think this is one people will either love or hate!

  1. This may be different for you but it is amazing. I can just feel the warmth coming across the bike handles and seats. Love those shadows too. The colors were just waiting to be painted...you did a wonderful job on a really tough painting. Love everything about this- so much to look at and love!

  3. Kathy, I really like this painting. The shadows are incredible and I like the composition with the 2 bicycles slightly off center and the pattern they make with the wire baskets. Good job!
