I'm finding it's taking me longer and longer to finish a painting. And during school term (because of teaching) I find I'm only seriously painting once a week. Monday is my watercolour class, Tuesday to Thursday taken up with everything else, and Friday morning left for painting with the group.
As a result I found that after the last exhibition, I have very little (actually absolutely nothing that I would consider suitable) for the next exhibition which is just around the corner. So I really have to pull my finger out and get into my little studio and do some work.
This was done in the Friday group and sold on the opening night of the last exhibition. Bicycles will always remind me of Ramesh Jhawar who is an expert bicycle painter. This was taken on a plein air outing at a private home - just around a corner I found this gem - the gardener's bicycle propped against the garden shed.

I love the painting and..to hear from you again,thanks Liz.
This is wonderful! I love the soft shadows and the colors you blended so beautifully. It has such a peaceful, simple spirit. Very nicely done!
So glad you found me, Liz. Did you see that I reposted Eudith's portrait too? I think you or Claire Carnell were my first two followers so I will always follow you. It also takes me a long time to finish a piece, but then it always has. Working is also the culprit for me...I just don't have any energy M through Friday and rarely on a Saturday as I find myself trying to recuperate from the work week. Plus the fibromyalgia doesn't help. Anyway, I love this one, almost a most simple composition but belied with the shadows and the bike itself, not to mention perspective!
A wonderful painting, Liz!
Finding time for painting can be extremely challenging sometimes. I wish you well.
Love that painting

Fantastic painting as always, Liz.! I love the subtle blues...and lovely shadows! Excellent! I always enjoy visiting your blog!!
Beauty.. Especially love that scraf.. may be a pullover.. or whatever. How it is wrapped around that handle.. Just tells a story in a sweet way.
Oh quelle belle peinture que celle-ci ! Elle est pleine de charme et de poésie. Elle me plaît vraiment.
Je comprends que vous ne puissiez pas visiter régulièrement les blogs. Souvent, nous sommes obligés de prendre du recul... et prendre des priorités.
gros bisous
Agree with Prabal... the bicycle with the scarf has so much character.
We think you are amazing, and of course my mom wishes she could paint just like you!
We love your happy life- that you find time for a little of this and a little of that- and still paint.
You inspire us.
And we love this painting.
love

I like this so much Liz, I always find paintings with bicycles very charming. I hope you can find more time to paint so you can enjoy the process and not feel pressured to produce. Great to see you back!
this is a fantastic painting, Liz!
This painting has a ton of charm!
wow great Work!
The painting is great. Good things seem to come when painting with a group. But I understand the need to paint on your own time too. Thank you for visiting recently.
Love this painting Liz!
Great painting Liz. How did you get the circles so round? Jealous!
Thank you for stopping by my blog, I appreciate your comments.
A really gorgeous piece of art, congrats on the sale!
Oh Liz,I love this painting and you know why...LOL! Bikes are indeed a favorite subject and you have painted this so beautifully! Thank you so much for mentioning my name. I'm so glad I could inspire with my bike paintings :) Congrats on the sale!
Best
this is a beautiful painting Liz! it would be so nice if you had more time to paint ! what you do is wonderful !
I really love this painting, Liz! I suspect it was more challenging that it appears at first look, given the pleasing angle of the street, getting the perspective right on everything else, etc. Congratulations on this and all your other sales at the exhibition. Nothing like an upcoming exhibition after you've sold a bunch of the good stuff to motivate starting some new paintings--hope you can make the time and enjoy some good progress toward your goals.
I'm not at all surprised that it sold right away..
Wonderfully done!
Excellent work, thanks a lot for sharing this with us. You work would be suited for infusion art what do you think?
I agree Ethan it would look great on wall art prints, also well done on the amazing work I really enjoy it!

I want someone here suffering from any disease to heal from my story after Hiv disease for the last 3 years and having hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year. At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com/ www.drituaherbalcenter.com. We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease
