It's official, it's now a series. I just put a signature and a layer of varnish on the second painting inspired by the Great River Energy Bicycle Race that happened in Minneapolis early June. I have promised before that part of the mission of this blog is to explain (try!) why painters paint the way they do. Inspiration is a big part of it.
And Ragbrai is gearing up too! For the few of you who don't know what that is, Ragbrai goes like this:
R the Register's (as in the DesMoines Register)
a annual
g great
b bike
r ride
a across
i Iowa
and I do believe this is Ragbrai #36. The resident highschooler works at Bikes, Boards, and Blades, a great bike shop here in Spencer, Iowa, and even though Spencer is not on the route this year, they are still feeling the push. Lots of hours today, but a whole bunch more cyclists have road worthy bikes ready for the week ahead!
Ok, back to work.
Later, Cooper
