Iconic Caps | Original Art | Michael Valenti
Vive la casquette!
Iconic Caps | Long live the cycling cap! A great cap will never go out of style, at least that’s my opinion.
This work is painted using casein paints on wood panel. Then carefully I’ve sanded and scrapped color away, added more layers of color and repeated the process until I was satisfied with the image. With a polished bees wax finish this painting has a wonderful texture and sheen. This work is framed in a walnut finish already as shown and ready to hang in your home.

Golden Hour | Original Art | Michael Valenti
Glowing.
Golden Hour | A new approach for me using mixed media paints, watercolors, casein and charcoal on wood panel. Spray fixative and polished wax finish makes this glowing little painting come alive. This work is framed already as shown.
This was my first time working this way and it was significantly more of a labor of love, so I’m looking forward to many more variations in the future.

Barn Shadow | Original Art | Michael Valenti
In my world.
Barn Shadow – I live in Lake County, Illinois, which is next to McHenry County, Illinois and it’s all just south of the Wisconsin border – so we have lots of barns. Lots of great old barns and I just have to make a bigger effort to paint more of them.

Ewald Barn | Original Art | Michael Valenti
On my rides.
Ewald Barn | Grayslake, IL – I spend a lot of time riding past great old barns near my home in northern Illinois. I always say, “I should paint that barn” – so I did. Big old barns are fun to explore, but be sure to ask permission first.

Freedom 1900 | Original Art | Michael Valenti
The start of something big.
Freedom 1900 | The invention of the safety bicycle in the late 1880s revolutionized women’s lives by providing unprecedented personal mobility, transforming practical fashion, and fueling the broader women’s rights movement at the time.
I drew this picture of women being released into the air on their bicycles when I was working on a project for World Bicycle Relief Fund – as I found it thematically similar. Both dealt with issues of self-empowerment and freedom.
At one time, I even considered using the image as a poster for Tour de France – Femmes avec Zwift. I still like it but not for that, I think it’s more emotionally infused than what a Tour poster wants to be. I do however have a series of concept drawings in the same vain but not sure what to do with them yet. If you might have any ideas, please let me know, I’d love to discuss it with you.

Orange Rider | Original Art | Michael Valenti
Controlling chaos.
Orange Rider | A very wet on wet watercolor painting of a cyclist in orange kit, an exercise in controlling the chaos that is watercolor painting.
I created this work as a study of color and watercolor management. The process is a bit like trying to control a flood, but that’s what I like about watercolors.

Molteni Bidon | Original Art | Michael Valenti

Belgian Blue Skies | Original Art | Michael Valenti
Simply perfect.

This work is a combination of wet on wet watercolor technique and casein paints with ink.

Tour de France 1903 | Valenti | Original Cycling Art
La Grande Boucle!
Tour de France 1903 was the first time this iconic race took place. A brutally difficult loop around France to help promote L’Auto magazine before it became the now modern version L’Équipe. Still making trips around France the race is the largest rolling billboard for sponsors in the world – and you can watch it for free on the side of the road. Vive le Tour!
This original painting was created on a 40×60 inch canvas with acrylic paints. Layered to create a textured finish and designed to have a sense of the golden poster age, with a modern flair.

Ride by the lake | Valenti | Original Cycling Art
Free to roam.
“Ride by the lake” is my happy place. Cycling is all about freedom and nature for me. Rolling around at my speed, exploring, enjoying and feeling alive. I always have a plan and most days it gets changed, I’m happy to explore, I’m happy to find new trails and roads. I’m still amazed I can find new places to ride even though I’ve lived here almost twenty years. That’s a lot of bike rides. That’s a lot of happy.
“Ride by the lake” is not an actual place but a vision of a perfect place. Open grassy fields with easy rolling hills giving way to a little lake surrounded by woods. Wait a minute, it is a real place, it’s where I live. Heavy use of applied paints help give this painting a unique texture and unexpected little details as you get closer. At a distance the work is simple, bold and has a rich muted color making it a perfect choice for a grown-ups home or office if you know one.

Belgian Rain | Valenti | Original Cycling Art
Classic Belgian color.
Belgian Rain is just one more way for me to express my love of all cycling things Belgian. From the cobbles, the bergs, the classics, the beer, the riders. And especially the classic Belgian colors. Black, Yellow, Red and light Blue the colors of the Belgian national jersey. One of my most favorite iconic jerseys.
The painting is obviously very bold in color and paint texture looking very simple from a distance and more intricate and detailed as you get closer. If you’re looking for a big bang of color and a way to enjoy your love of cycling everyday, this is your painting.
