For Pete's Sake, It's George's Motorcycle....

A bit of delay in getting this up on here but here's the Harley Motorcycle commissioned I finished.  I call it "For Pete's Sake, It's George's Motorcycle."  The friend that I did this for, his real name is George but a lot of his friends call him Pete.  Talk about identity crisis! lol... he fortunately loved his painting and here it is...

A Brother's Birthday Painting...

My little brother whose six foot frame towers above me has a birthday coming up later this week.  He's really into riding his Harley motorcycle when the weather allows and he has the free time.  I thought he might like this painting for his birthday.  It's based off of a road trip photo I took when I was at Cannon Beach.  I hope he likes it and doesn't mind that I don't know if either of these motorcycles are Harley's.  I'll admit that I don't know my motorbikes because I'm much more into the two wheeled unmotored bikes.  But here it is with a bit of a glimpse into the background of how it evolved into the finished piece...

"Cannon Beach Bike Break"; Watercolor on 12" x 23" cold press paper.

Here's the beginning drawing with masking...

Then the first bit of washing of the background and some prelim painting done...

And a bit more of painting done...

And here it is all finished again....
