Ride a Bike Today
My husband Daniel and I created this piece together during the holidays, and I forgot to post it so I'm doing so now. It started with a pen-and-ink drawing I drew. Then we transformed it several times, alternating photocopier distortion, gouache, watercolor, house paint, more pen and ink, and collage over and over.
I didn't tell my husband at the time, but the piece was actually about him. This was how I imagined him in long hair during his NASA days, bundling up no matter how stormy the weather was and fearlessly cycling to work 13 miles each way every day. He inspired me to get a bike for the first time in years. I'm slowly building up the courage to be fearless about cycling like him.

Hey there, I just want to let you know that I read all comments, even if it takes days or weeks for me to switch my brain over from publishing mode to feedback-reading mode. Thanks for taking the time to write something. Your words mean a lot to me. Be gentle and kind - this is a space where I post my works-in-progress, good or bad, and it can be hard putting my art out there.
