Would it surprise you to know that a Harley lives in our garage? How about that I have biker boots, a leather jacket, and like to ride?
I have to give all the credit for the idea behind this painting to that guy right there who lets me ride behind him.
The art challenge word for the week was "Road." I thought about it and said, "I've got nothing... zero spark of an idea..." Without hesitation, he said, "What about painting the road with the view from the motorcycle?" Hmmm... genius!
Ok, here's a bonus. This is one the of dozens of the reference photos I took. If you look at the bottom of the chrome, you'll see the reflection of Ron's face. Just below his chin you can see my hands and phone as I was blindly snapping photos of the road hoping I'd get a usable shot.

Great painting for the prompt. I'm not sure what I'd come up with for "road" either, but you did well!
ReplyDeleteSometimes having a prompt or the (self-inflicted) pressure of an “assignment” does bring out the best in creativity. It makes us think in directions that we’d never have delved without the expectation to come up with something.
