I started the artwork with a bunch of plein aire painting friends. I usually need to scout out the site we plan to visit the day before and get a head start on the painters because colored pencil work takes much longer then painting. So I had a sketch of the bicyclerider drawn out with some of the shrubs and trees. Two days later when I came back with the group of painters all the beautiful large trees where gone! This changed the entire scene! I didn't want to complete the artwork with just the naked building behind the rider. I was so frustrated that I put the artwork on the "to-be-completed-pile-some-day." It was on that pile only about two years when inspiration hit me to complete it as you see it today, I hope you like it!
