Time for a progress report....

"Chopper" - (work in progress)

watercolour pencil on paper

Gosh, it's been a busy summer! All that time off work went way too quickly, was filled with many many activities, like Xmas, time with family, doing stuff with the kids, all of which left me only a little time to concentrate on some of my art projects.  However I haven't been completely neglecting my creative side, just spending a lot of time ruminating on what to do next.  I've been working for some time on the above piece, which is almost, but as yet unfinished.  It's kind of a tribute to the past (yes another one, childhood themes are big with me), the good old "Chopper" bike - remember those?  I never had one, but I had a friend who did, and it was on that bike that I learnt how to ride on two wheels.  My 7 yr old saw this and is doing his best to convince me to give it to him when it's finished, plus he now wants his next bike to be a Chopper like this one.  I'm not sure they even still make them these days......??.
