Monster Climb Print

TourDeFrance : Monster Climb The intent of this piece is to resemble a monster of a mountain and racers conquering it. This started off as an abstract on top of an abstract that went bad. This means there was a previous painting underneath, providing texture for the new. I completely covered the old with a neutral grey background. I started creating a new abstract, and somehow I had France on my mind. I used to bike 2 hrs daily when I was younger (somewhere in the 25-35 years old range). I would bike North of where I lived to visit my Cousin and his family. It always helped to have a destination, and to be riding through more rural areas. So combine all that and somehow the image developed…. I wasn’t sure how to add the riders without taking too much away from the monster. So I worked out a couple of ideas on the computer, and after 3 different attempts I liked the lighter bikes with France flag coloured riders. I am amazed at the racers in the Tour de France, but I wouldn’t want to be one of them. Too much “traffic”. I never raced, because I didn’t want to loose the enjoyment of free riding. The pressure to win would have killed all enjoyment..
