Working on handlebars today. I'll set these tiles aside now and let the paint dry. One more sitting should do it for the handlebars and brakes, I think.

Fuji - Work in progress by Jeff
I've done several paintings of this old bike, but it's been a while. I'm doing this one specifically for my new gallery, Bennett Street. Susie Pryor, the owner of the gallery, showed so much enthusiasm for my bike paintings that I just couldn't resist! I'm a real sucker for enthusiasm about my art.
The subject here is a bike that my sister and I gave to my mom as a birthday present when we were teenagers. It spent many years at the beach in North Carolina, until it just got too rusty to use practically. I brought it back to Georgia to live in my garden, where it has gained more and more rust and patina. I suppose with enough WD40 I could still ride it, but it makes an awfully nice model for my paintings just like it is!
The finished size of this piece will be 40" x 40". This image is a close-up of the painting - it's going to have a lot more breathing room when it's done.

New finished work - bound for my new gallery!
I've got new representation in Atlanta: Bennett Street Gallery! These paintings are finished and ready to go to them next week, though they won't officially be introducing me for a few months. I have a really good feeling about this gallery! Stay tuned for dates of my openings.
