Thank you, Angela!

Thank you, Gary! I wouldn’t want to ride one either. Those things were dangerous!

Thank you, Mary!

Thank you so much, Jutta! It’s fun trying to think beyond the obvious response.

Thank you, Douglas!

Thank you, Priscilla!

Thank you, Matthew! Wheels aren’t the easiest thing in the world. Study and practice – I studied perspective for many years and practiced a lot. These days I don’t worry about it too much, relying on those years. For this painting, I wanted to keep it loose, so I concentrated on trying to give it a feeling of motion rather than perfect perspective. Toward that end, I blurred, suggested faint circles inside the wheels, doubled a couple of the spokes, and used the same colors as the background.
