Traffic Patterns

"Traffic Patterns" 14x14" Acrylic  

Anyone who has been to New York City knows that the performance provided by these bike messengers rivals any broadway show entertainment - and it's free! They are amazingly agile and graceful as they weave in and out of a blur of racing traffic, a real sight to behold.

I'm leaving for Indiana to teach a "How to Paint Fast, Loose and Bold" workshop - and looking forward to seeing that part of the country. Be back early next week to continue indulging my biker fascination...I'm really having fun with these guys!

Hi Patti,
LOVE the bike messenger pieces! They are fun to watch in SF too. Can't wait to see more. Have fun in Indiana.

These are just awesome. They look like they may be on paper? You are the hardest working artist I know and it certainly shows! Perfection!
