Bicycle with Basket of Flowers in Galway Watercolor – 11×14
Watercolor Painting: Bicycle with Flower Basket.
I have been wanting to paint a bicycle with a basket full of flowers for a while, but I hadn’t found the right inspiration.
Then I came upon “it” (the inspiration) at a quaint little shop in Galway on our recent trip to Ireland.
I took artistic license in changing the black bike to turquoise that was on the sidewalk outside of Judy Greene’s Gift Shop on Kirwan Lane.
It brings back sweet memories of a great trip and gave me a painting I love!
Happy #WorldWatercolorMonth!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Artistic licence is the key towards independence. Or else what we get are just copies of what we have seen and NOT what has inspired us. Great water colour, Jodi!

Wow! I LOVE this!! 🌿🌸🎨✨ Not an easy subject and I love how you made it your own with the colors you chose! I have always thought it would be cool to own an old bicycle and put a basket of flowers in it to display. 😃

Great job. Looks lovely, like bringing home a souvenier of fun times, & enjoying culture of others, nostaglia. We had a bike for two antique model & used to ride to town during our Zuchini festival, we had a basket in front too, mostly we put wonderful baked goods we would buy. And everyone remembered us, year after year.

What a colorful and cheerful photo! And I just loved Galway, too. So pretty! Did you tour the area to the north of it? I think it’s called Conammara or something like that.

If you go again, it’s worth the trip. You can sign up for a day tour in Galway. The land reminded me of the Scottish highlands!!
