Linda's Bike

6x9 watercolor over pencil line drawing on Canson 140 lb cold press paper begun yesterday then finished today.  This is part of our Big Spring Art Association summer challenge and the photo ref is courtesy of Linda Rupard Irvin.  She photographed this old yellow bicycle from above, inside a dark wall with sunlight peeping around the edges and underneath.  I love the old baskets on its handlebars.  We are to post our efforts on the BSAA's Facebook page you can see HERE.  So far I have painted Sandee's Donkey, Frida Kahlo, and Yellow Orange VW.
