Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Day I've ever known

Everyday I wake up at 6AM. Workout. Shower. Build Relationships. And Make Art.
Here is the progression of some of that art.
Words to Paint By for Bike Love
Painting #1
Get on your bike right
outside your front door.
Low-traffic residential
roads will get you anywhere in town.
Painting #2
People will think you’re
having fun. And you will be!
Plus you will get some
extra exercise, fresh air, and a sense of accomplishment.
Painting #3
When you bike all over a
place it becomes yours.
The more we bike CU, the more we love CU.

Wow! I think that they are coming along VERY nicely! :)
Thanks Laurie! You know I wasn't able to get the red paint out of my eyebrow last night even after washing my face twice. It must have mostly worn off today since no one asked about it.
Painting #2 and #3 are on their way! Beautiful, Jessie; they're well composed with excellent use of perspective. I appreciate you posting the photos of what's inspiring each piece and then the pieces "in process." I'm really looking forward to seeing how you portray the bike parts in painting #1. When will you post the finished pieces? When and where is the exhibit?
Kim, thank you for your kind words! I've been fighting getting into the basement to work on them since getting home from our trip. It's cold down there! The pieces will be exhibited in the ticket booth in front of the Art Theater in downtown Champaign during the holidays.
