Colorful Lanes


Click Here to Bid (6x6in.)

The reference for this (taken in NYC) was a bit dull, color-wise, but I loved the composition. So I opened it in Photoshop and tried increasing the saturation. Normally I don't like to do this, because it blows the colors out TOO much. But for this it was perfect, and totally inspired me to paint it. I especially love the little pop of greens in the far background.

I love this painting, such a feeling of speed in the cyclist, and lovely colours.

I love this one. The contrast (and complementarity) of the colors is just perfect
