Bicycle with Flowers, Chelsea, Michigan
This is my EDM #35 for today. I have had this reference picture for a year now. I loved the bicycle when I saw it outside a store in Chelsea, Michigan. We were on an afternoon trip with our Artists Guild Group. Chelsea is a cool city with galeries, antiques....and most of all a wonderful restaurant called The Common Grill and the Purple Rose Theatre which is owned by actor Jeff Daniels---who lives in this city when he is not off filming a movie somewhere. It is also the home of Jiffy baking mixes...where you can take a tour of the plant. My sketch is done in pen and ink and then filled in with a watercolor wash.

Nice looking flowery (is that a word?!) bicycle!
What a charming sketch!!! Wonderfully done!
I like this bicycle - it's very nicely done. You did an great job keeping it light even with all the mechanical bits.
SOOOO gorgeous.
This is so sweet!
I just love this! You've got some great negative space here, Susan---and what a challenging object to draw! Very well done.
