On a hot summer day last week,
I drove by three teenage girls riding bikes
in bathing suits and bare feet and
it took my breath away.
The freedom! The innocence!
I got home and quickly did this watercolor
to remind me of the moment.
It wasn’t easy getting an image as I was driving.
I had to drive passed them, pull over, and wait for them to go by.
I can’t wait to try this as an oil painting
when I get back to the studio.
(Still doing hand therapy
and taking it slow for now.)
