My day began with a flat tire. A definite glitch in my long bike ride plan.
I applied duct tape to the little slice in the tire, changed the tube. Good for 83.7k. Hooray for duct tape!
I love to ride and run as much as I love to paint.
It is apparent no one would sponsor me to run marathons & triathlon, but perhaps for artists who do? :0)
It was on a cycling trip that we stumbled upon these amazing lavender fields, the subject in my new painting, LAVENDER. 18×24 Original Oil.
Being active outdoors influences my work.
When I began participating in marathons and ironman the work set ablaze. The secret wasn’t racing, it was the confidence participating gave me. Motion & energy transferred to canvas. I became bold. Well, bold for me.
What holds you back from trying something new, exploring out of your comfort zone?
My secret? I don’t get caught up in comparisons. Whether it be in art or sport, I focus on being the best Dawn Banning. If your dream is to start an art project or zumba, the confidence you build will seep uniquely into your life. Like fixing your own bike tire with duct tape.
