An experimental piece inspired by a stain on our garage floor. Although a tan stain on a cement floor that was caused when some water flooded our garage, it reminded me of looking down on the landscape from an airplane. I shifted colors to make it feel more like a landscape and decided to include several bicyclists racing through the countryside.
I started with fluid acrylic to create a gray and tan underpainting. I gradually added watercolor and gouache to tint the aerial view more toward my vision of a landscape, using quite a bit of layering of transparent and opaque colors to add texture to the ground.
