I’ve stood in the shadow of the chapel Madonna del Ghisallo in Italy and cried when they rang the bells as the riders in the 2019 Giro d’Italia raced up the climb. A very, very special painting for me to share. A very, very special place in my heart and the heart of so many.
As with all of my work I’ve taken liberties with the reality of a situation, in this case I’ve endeavored to capture the spirits of the past cycling decades with floating cyclists forever riding the winds. The facade of the chapel doesn’t have the Italian flag, it should. And for me the heart of the chapel is the Bianchi Celeste Green bell in the tower. I hope you enjoy the work.
The trim edge of the painting can be painted white or black as you wish.
If you have any questions about the work, feel free to contact me and talk. Enjoy.

Paris-Roubaix first ran in 1896 and has been torturing cyclists ever since. It is known as “The Hell of the North” because of the difficult road and weather conditions that rage throughout the area. With cobblestone sectors and wind-swept fields, this “Queen of the Classics” is an annual favorite among cycling fans everywhere, and a right of passage for any likely classics champion.

Molteni Bidon | In the spirit of trying new things I’ve broken into my stash of colored pencils. I’ve been scribbling, coloring and wiggling my way across drawing paper and liking the results. And since I think these new scribbles suit me well I’m sure you’ll be seeing more.

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.

“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.
