Fall Series No 4 | Original Cycling Art
The season of color.
In this Fall Series of Cycling Art Paintings I’ve tried to capture some of what I see, and more importantly how I feel. I take rides almost every day and I’m always inspired by the nature I’m riding in. The colors of fall, the low light of the early sun – just stunning most days. Bright contrasting colors screaming at me or deep rich earthy tones, wet, muted values of color as the days get shorter and colder.
It won’t be long before I’m working on a winter series, so enjoy these last days of warmth and wonder.

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.
