Bike Ride

Piece description from the artist

When I stay in Key West, I get around on a bicycle: It's possible to look around while getting places quickly and with enough wind in my face to stay cool in the middle of the day. One year, my son and I were biking in such strong wind near Zachary Taylor Park that we didn't have to peddle, the wind pushed us right along. That same day we encountered a man dressed as an ostrich, also on a bike, who went past us. Another memory: for years I looked forward to seeing an old man traveling around the commercial areas of town after dark on a bike with flashing blue lights and music playing. This painting of a woman biking past a cottage in Old Town could be a self portrait (but isn't).
