Freedom Lies in Being Bold - #3 in Fifty's Fashion Series

"Freedom Lies In Being Bold" - Robert Frost

12" x 12" Acrylic on canvas with 1 1/2" painted sides

#20028218

This is the third painting in my "Fifty's Fashion" series depicting women living in the 1950 - 1960's. I love riding my bike and have rented bikes on several holidays in other countries and certainly enjoy the freedom it affords me. The freedom to go, see and explore for myself is what I thought these two women were experiencing.

This painting and 3 more from this series has been juried into the Federation of Canadian Artists, Calgary Chapter "Spring Into Art" show (see invite below).

April 5 daily painting challenge "Beat Stress". I painted this with the idea of the darkness of stress, winter breaking up and biking season beginning. My husband Gord went on his first ride this morning with a couple of friends. It is still not warm enough for me and way to much gravel, water, ice and snow around. I may try a shorter ride downtown tomorrow as the weather is finally warming up :). The sides of this small canvas are painted a bright cheery yellow.
