Carol's Gift (Motorcycle)

Carol's Gift, acrylic, 11"X14,"© 2007 Barbara Sistak Baur

Just before Christmas, Carol contacted me to do this painting of her friend's special motorcycle. Yes, it was a very busy time but I decided if I focused, I could complete it in the tight time frame I had. Sometimes that is the best because you concentrate only on what is really important. You don't get sidetracked by what just isn't going to work. What I really wanted to bring out is the excitement and power that surrounds a fine machine like this and its gleaming look.

The close ups show the powerful brush strokes in the chrome and background.
