I'm working on a series of paintings for a show At Paradise Perks in Irvine, California on August 29th. Because I'm painting for Southern California, I get to revisit my roots and reminisce. After living in the pacific northwest for almost 20 years and being surrounded by many serious cyclists, it's been fun to remember the lazy summer days of my youth and paint a bunch of beach cruisers! However, cruising the boardwalk in Newport Beach is considered a very serious sport by some!

Oh Annie, you so captured the feel and the light of this area...this is definitely a favorite!
WOW ! what a great piece talk about challenging . ONe bike is hard but that many ........wow ! is all I can say
Annie, That is an amazing tour de force! All the more so because it looks effortless. A funny complex painting that captures the heat, color, open space and open days of SoCal summers. Funny- for being empty of people, it implies the friendships and sounds of kids and ocean. (I hung out at the Huntington Beach pier. It was my bastion of sanity.)
Love this one Annie - what a difficult piece to tackle, and you have totally nailed it. It is beautiful (great cropping). I can smell the salt air now...
What a great painting, nice work. Brings back memories for me. I lived in OC before moving up to Portland and loved riding my bike down those boardwalks in Newport.
Thanks for posting.
Hi - I am a first time visitor here and came by your site through a friend's Facebook link. What beautiful work! I especially love the bike painting and the coffee house because there is something so interesting about the floor in that painting. I am no artist, but I love your style and wish I could do it too!
Hey Annie...I was amazed to see your work...Its truly wonderful...It is a difficult subject but you did it so effortlessly..Great!

Hi Annie...
I'm visiting because I saw your work on Clint's Informed Collector and loved the "Getting Ready To Ride" painting..
Now that I see your work... I like it all!!
I'll be back for sure!!
Oh... I almost forgot.... CONGRATS!!!
Annie, I too want to congratulate you on your highlight in "Informed Collector" too! I received my email newsletter today and was so happy for you.
This bike piece must have been very challenging but you "made order out of chaos" ( that's a previous quote from our very own - Dana Cooper!) hehe Really wonderful painting.
Great painting. Brings back memories of gravel sanded knees and sticky snow cone juice. Love your work.
Annie You're very good, congratulations!
This is amazing! Fantastic work, Annie.

Great painting - the light, the colour - and you made a great composition out of a tangle of bikes - love it!

I came to compliment your unique DSFDF entry but I LOVE this! The chunky strokes of color, the repetitive pattern of the wheels, everything!
