As in most of the cycling paintings, my goal is to capture the movement and energy of cyclists. I so admire bicycle riders for their strength and athleticism. When a local triathlon runs through our town I catch many photographs of them has they fly by. I love their interplay as they ride in groups or pass each other on their way by.

I abstracted the background to help bring focus to the rider but also to augment the sense of the speed with which the rider is traversing the landscape.
