Paintings and Portraits

For the first time, I’m at a place where work feels more like play. I lead bicycle tours with Bicycle Adventures. Not the peanut butt’r jelly kind I normally take with stuffed panniers and washed clothes haphazardly strapped on my bicycle rack to sun dry. This is a different kind of touring. This kind of touring rewards a hard days play with a plush bed, top cuts of meat prepared any way you like, and a cup a sunrise coffee to send you off for the next day. The common demoninator between these two kinds of touring are the outstanding views and bicycles. I’ve met people from all over, from all walks of life with their own stories and adventures, I was lucky to spend a week at a time with them. In between shuffling luggage, honking my bugle horn, and hosting a week long party in some kick butt destinations, I got to know some really great people. So thanks to them! They are the ones enabling me to do what I love—bike, eat, and paint.

I gave guests my snapshots while out on tour. Art is to be shared.
