"UP HILL"

16x8 oil on canvas board, $165.00 + $15.00 S/H

This is not easy.  I can barely hike up some of the hills in our local areas, so biking is hard to imagine doing.  This was a very narrow path and we had to stand in the bushes so the the cyclists could get by.  I was a little freaked as I have heard that there are snakes.  I still have not seen one.
Kept it a pretty basic palette.  I wanted to gray down the hills behind without washing them out.  The cyclist is the focus with the greens of the foreground shrubs framing him and the path.
