Inspired by my road bike! Until recently, I had been using my road bike stationary and was really afraid of going out on the streets of Toronto with it. I was using the clipless pedals and the thought of being stuck to the bike if I needed to stop quickly was just a little too stressful for me! So, we took the clipless pedals off and replaced them with flat pedals and now I'm enjoying it so much! 
 
This painting is an experiment of playing around with light and shadows with hard and soft shapes. I took the inspiration photo while waiting at a traffic light and love the bright green paint on the pavement we have here for the bike lane. Altogether with an orange underpainting to make the colours pop!
