Morning Ride

The original oil painting is painted on hand-stretched cotton canvas, 24″x24″. My palette knife impasto painting technique creates a lively textured surface, with really thick paint.

I love to ride bicycles, and there is a riding path out here in the Seattle area that meanders along the Sammamish river in a wide glacial valley. It wanders by breweries and some of our major wineries too. The early morning rides on this trail are so cool with the way the sun comes through the tall trees, and the mist that lingers along the trail here and there.

My original custom giclée paper prints are produced on archival quality fine art papers that are 100% cotton, with a distinctive textured surface and heavy weight.

Custom prints on canvas add an extra level of authenticity. I personally hand-retouch all my canvas prints with a special surface texture that adds additional gloss and recreates the texture present in the original oil painting back into the print. Other custom print options are also available. Contact me directly to discuss before purchasing!
