In my continued effort to include figures in several of my new paintings, this is "Girl On Bike, Pacific Beach", 18 x 20.5 inches, oil on canvas. I used to live in Pacific Beach when I was a teenager, before I left for Art Center. To this day, I don't know how I managed to live there and yet stay out of trouble (PB is quite the party town). I always liked the old houses around there, so I thought I'd use it as a location for this idea I've had for a painting of a girl on a bike. She's talking on her cell phone, headed to the beach.

great idea. one can read so much into this painting and about the rider.
Thanks Susan, glad you like it!
I agree - how you could live on Paciifc beach while staring at girls and still stay outta trouble is a mystery.
You obviously took a good look at this girl bcuz it came it great!
Hahaha! Well, I guess it's what Freud would have referred to as "sublimation".
Really nice Tony the bike is a killa.
Thanks Bill... it just about killed me to paint it :-) Not an easy one, but I love how it turned out.
