Hit the Road....

Last summer, when we were temporarily renting an apartment near Larkspur Landing, I painted a neighbor's motorcycle - a Royal Enfield. (see below).   I've thought about painting a couple more cycles for awhile...finally did one this week.  The little Red Vespa (above) had so many tiny chrome parts to it; the key was to simplify.  I abstracted the background building and like the effect. While painting both these bikes was a lot of fun, the thought of a ride on one sounded even more so!
