Tools made for the Bike Paintings

These images capture the mark-making tools used in the Bike Month Paintings. A little bit of duct tape and a bucket of bike parts created an interesting challenge.

These studies allow me to experiment with ways to bring interesting lines into my work.

Stop by the Transparent Studio to see the display of paintings and the bike part tools.

Bike Month Paintings!

These four paintings were completed in the Transparent Studio to help Spartanburg celebrate Bike Month. No brushes were used. Each piece was painted using tools that were made from discarded bike parts that were left over from the Hub Cycle project with Partners for Active Living.

These paintings are currently on display in the Transparent Studio along with the bike parts used to create them. Each piece is mixed media on board and is hung from discarded bicycle brake wiring.
