Free Wheelin'

Free Wheelin - oil on canvas - 30x36
Not exactly tiptoe-ing through the tulips...but my idea of the next best thing...pedal power through them! I love riding my bike.  I like the scents in the air as I whiz along, being able to hear bird sounds.  Out in the country where I live we have some nice trails that are good for bike riding.  In Ottawa in the spring there is a glorious tulip festival where I saw many people going for rides.  This painting was inspired by that.

  1. Good morning Sally! So much fun to be the first to comment on this beautiful piece! I not only love the painting but I love the title. "Free Wheelin" is another of my many favorites! Love the story behind the painting! I love the size of this one also! Nice to see it on the easel in your last post! Great colors! Love the perspective! Flowers in the foreground are fabulous! I am also drawn to the great background! So very, very nice! A pleasure to look at over and over again!
    Take care!

    This painting makes me miss my former home. Ottawa is such a beautiful city, and the tulips are a delightful part of that. Gorgeous work!
