That Red Bike Again!

As a professional painter, I have developed a reputation as an artist who doesn't repeat himself.  Building on my training as an Illustrator, capable of creating artwork featuring a vast range of subjects and scenes, I am constantly challenging myself with something new and different for my next painting.
In spite of this, there have been a few themes that have surfaced in my body of work.  One of those would be the Red bike, which has been featured in a number of paintings, as seen below.  The bike was found at one of the unique and picturesque homes located in Eden Mills, a lovely village that was my home before moving up to The Blue Mountains.  For some reason, its mix of age, style and patina seemed to fit in a number of my paintings.  There certainly are other cool bikes out there and maybe one day I will paint one of those, but for now this vintage red lady's bike has served me well as an artistic muse!
