It's Wednesday morning and time to give another peek at offerings for my annual open house. On our recent trip to Florida, we took our bicycles to get around. The bicycles that are seen in the area are reminiscent of bicycles from our early days. In this piece I have used a mixture of painting and collage. I used our AAA Trip tik for the background and of course watercolor for my subject. We loved riding our bikes to and from all of our destinations. My lovely wife,Mary Anne, wanted a bell on the bike. Next time! The actual textures of the torn paper add an interesting quality to my final piece. I find that I must always keep that "what if" attitude when I work. It is this curiosity that keeps me painting and gives my work a diverse appearance. I often receive comments at art shows about this diversity. Many people think that my display was created by more than one person. No, its just me and my curious mind. Here's wishing you a happy journey.
