Spring Bike Path

Spring Bike Path - oil on canvas - 12 x 24"
Spring is in the air...finally!  Thank goodness, because we've all been missing it up here in the great white north.  I look forward to getting out on my bicycle a little. Hopefully Dave and I will enjoy some nice bike rides soon. We love riding around Prince Edward County, and Amherst Island beckons too.  The pleasant thought of the joys of riding inspired 3 new canvases this week, this one, 'Spring Bike Path' is fresh off the easel this morning. I'm working my way through the others.

  1. I love this painting Sally. I went on a scenic bike ride with my honey a couple of weeks ago and we both enjoyed it so very much!

  2. So beautiful Sally. We are in New York -- where it has been rainy, and beautiful. Luckily I love rain, and don't have clothes for sun!

    Love this painting.

    XOXOXO Barbara

  9. Wendy this is a bike path in Ottawa, and that shape in the background is meant to be the library behind our parliament buildings. It's a wonderful place to ride.

  11. Those Impressionist blues and soft yellows are so seductive Sally. I can see where your mind was! Like you we have had a long, cold, damp winter and the few days of sunshine recently have lifted the spirits! Thanks for your kind visits to my blog!
