Bikes by Louise Naimian

Genius - just love the way it says it all but in such a loose and almost casual way. Your confidence in producing this sketch comes over and it gives the viewer confidence in what they are seeing. Bikes are a tricky subject (all those spokes and wheels!) but you have not let any of these daunt you for a second. Great, Louise.

Very natural poses and clever work with the rigger brush!

I have noticed before in some of your street scenes that you are good at bikes. I especially like the weight distribution shown in the rider on the left here.

Thank you Thea, Carole and Sian for your kind comments. I don't own a bike Sian, just used a family photograph as a reference. The one on the left was painted first which probably explains things..!

So glad that your starting to post again as this is superb. Wouldn't it be nice to meet up with everyone at some point in the future and possibly try to get a small exhibition (funded by Painters magazine of course hehe).

Excellent idea Joseph!

Nice and loose. Is it Tour De Painters on line?

Something special - I agree it would be great to meet up but somehow I can't see the funding being offered...!

Super painting Louise! All those bikes and riders straight in with a brush .. Amazing! Wouldn't it be lovely to meet you all!!

Nice bikes Louise - please tell me it wasn't done upside down without looking lol !

Many thanks Robert, Michael, Satu and Debs. Not upside down Debs and I looked! As for a get together and pol exhibition which would be wonderful, how many times have I heard myself saying..'if I win the lottery'..LOL

Brilliant atmosphere, Louise - they look like they're about to embark on some serious fun!

Indeed brilliant!
