Rest Day | Original TDF Cycling Art
Time out!
After two weeks of racing we deserve a little R&R. Take a ride around Paris with a friend, uncork a Burgandy. When you live in my fantasy world anything is possible. So go easy on yourself and rest up for the hardest week of the Tour de France yet to come. Vive le Tour!
This work was created by drawing with pen and ink, then finishing with watercolors.
This work is also available as an 18×24 inch print.

Stage 15 | Colombier | Original TDF Cycling Art
On the way to Paris.

Stage 8 | French Polka Dots | Original TDF Cycling Art
Cosnefroy the French KOM
While the hopes for a French Yellow Jersey winner slipped off the back of the peloton, at least AG2R La Mondiale is putting on a good show. With Benoit Cosnefroy in the KOM Jersey and Stage 8 winner Nans Peters riding high in the Pyrenees.

Stage 5 | Wout | Original TDF Cycling Art
Strongest man in the peloton!
Wout Van Aert has been ripping up the roads this entire season and it looks like he’s come to the Tour de France to do the same. As a strong man supporting Primoz Roglic, as a GC contender there looks to be no stopping him.

TDF 2020 Turned Upside Down | Original Cycling Art
The cycling world on its head.
The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has hammered the planet in ways that have been unimaginable – it has also weighed heavily on the cycling world. With the cancellations and moving of so many local and World Tour events we’ve never seen anything like this before.
So I’ve turned the iconic symbol of France on it’s head, The Cycling World is Upside Down.
This painting was a labor of love to be sure, there are three other versions under the final painting as I looked for the perfect image to capture the chaos in the world today. For me this work represents a symbolic milestone as I continue to look for images that have greater impact on the viewer.
I think for the right owner of this painting it will carry strong memories of a world in distress and the power of the human spirit to find a way to move forward.

Evergreen | Original Cycling Art
No. 9 | Winter Ride Series
Nine in the Series. Winter cycling for me is all about slowing down and embracing the world around me. Much of which is covered in snow or frozen still. I ride in the open landscapes of the midwestern states north of Chicago on the Wisconsin line. Filled with farms at rest and wooded trails I’m grateful for the times I can get outside.
This series was created by dragging paint across the paper without a brush and then pen and ink details.

Starting to Snow | Original Cycling Art
Not a sound.
The moment the snow just starts to fall, that’s what I’m looking to capture here. You’re on a ride alone in the woods, it’s cold but not uncomfortable cold. And quiet. So quiet you think you can hear the snow flakes as they gently hit your sleeve.
This painting is my second canvas in the Winter Ride Series. I’ve completed nine smaller studies and now I’m scaling up trying to better capture the expanse of the world I love cycling in, Wisconsin.
This painting is 30×48 inches on stretched canvas. The canvas will ship flat in US. If you have any questions about this work please contact me.
