Bicycle Sports Print --
This original watercolor painting of a shiny, aqua blue bicycle was completed in 2016. The seat and hand grips are orange, and everything else is chrome and black. The bike has a vintage feel and I've been told that my painting is reminiscent of Normal Rockwell (I wish!). I opted for a minimalistic style -- no background color (negative space) and nothing to distract from the clean lines of the bicycle. This print would be great in a child's room or in the home of anyone who loves to ride.
This print is one of 150 prints. The print measures 8" x 10" in a white, off-white or black 11" x 14"matte. It is signed and numbered and comes to you ready for framing. It is landscape (horizontal) oriented.
Most of my works are done using a variety of materials -- primarily watercolors, but also pencil, inks and acrylics. I use a color-layering process that I have developed over time. I most often begin with a pencil sketch from a photograph, and then use black ink and black acrylic paint to define lines and heighten dark areas. Watercolor pencils are sometimes used for added definition, and then vibrant tubes of watercolors are used for the bulk of the piece. Most of my original watercolors are in the 9" x 12" range and can take up to twenty hours to complete.
If you like this print, but want a smaller size, please contact me. I also offer prints in 8" x 10" mattes. You may also request a different matte color than the one offered here. I'm happy to work with you.
Pricing is as follows: 5x7 print in 8x10 matte - $19.99
8x10 print in 11x14 matte - $31.00
FYI: I no longer accept commissions through my Etsy shop, and do not do paintings upon request. "Custom orders" refers to the size of the print and matte color. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me via Etsy convo.
