Riding by the highway

20 x 24 inches, Acrylic on wood
This painting is a bright, uplifting depiction of a cyclist riding along a country road, by a highway rendered in a folk-inspired, colorful style

A man rides a bold yellow bicycle with red accents. He leans forward slightly, hands firm on the handlebars, giving the impression of momentum and steady movement.
He wears a red shirt, grayish pants, and brown shoes. His posture is casual yet purposeful, suggesting both leisure and determination.

Behind him stretches a lush wall of tall green plants, like overgrown brush, reinforcing a rural setting. Above them, purple-tinged rooftops rise in the distance beneath a vivid blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds.
A row of stylized purple lamp posts lines the horizon, adding a modern touch to the otherwise natural landscape.

Frame: The artwork is set in a weathered mint-green wooden frame, which enhances its rustic, handmade character.
The palette of bold primary colors (yellow, red, green, and blue) creates a cheerful, optimistic atmosphere, evoking freedom, youth, and the simple joy of movement through open spaces.
The piece celebrates everyday life and resilience, elevating a simple bike ride into a scene of vibrancy and vitality.
