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.

Wisconsin Winter, Milton | Original Cycling Art
Highway TK, Milton, Wisconsin
Winter in Wisconsin can be a difficult place to ride your bike unless you find comfort in frozen roads, icy winds and vast rolling landscapes of dormant wheat fields like I do. Slowing down in winter follows the way of nature and I’m happy to oblige. I have a few friends that will brave the elements with me but many rides are made in solitude.
This painting is my first large canvas in my Winter Ride Series of paintings. I’ve completed nine small studies and now I’m scaling up trying to better capture the expanse of the world I love cycling in, Wisconsin.
This painting is 84×48 inches on stretched canvas. The canvas will roll for shipping, some simple assembly is required to display. If you have any questions about this work please contact me.

Tubulars | Original Cycling Art
What support vehicle?
Back in the day, before GPS, computers, disk brakes, helmets, and a load of other improvements to the pro peloton there was – FIY – Fix It Yourself!
You carried your own food, tools and tubular tires. You flatted, you fixed it. You need water, you found it. And they call these the glory days of cycling. Well maybe not in every way but I do rather like the look of the “infinity” wings I’ve given to my peloton of day’s gone by.
I think they make a rather nice pattern you don’t see anymore.
This painting is 36×48 inches on stretched canvas. The canvas will be removed from the wood stretchers and rolled for shipping. If you have any questions about this work please contact me.

Goose and Rider | Original Cycling Art
Honk, honk.
I live in the midwest, near Wisconsin — we have geese. Lots of geese and they don’t like it when I chase them. But I do.
This is an ink painting on paper and would make a handsome addition to your office or home. Share your love for cycling with a friend.
