PRODUCT STORY
Julene says: Have you ever thought about just getting on your bike or in your car and just GOING? This painting is a tribute to that feeling of freedom. I also love the fact that she is riding backward, she has no clue how to ride, but she is DOING it.

Created with mixed media consisting of dictionary pages - note the unexpected placement of the word "dazzle" in the middle of the wheel. When I cut the bike out I was surprised to see "dazzle" perfectly centered in the wheel. Other media... sewing patterns and Japanese paper.

We laughed out loud when we saw Julene's delightful work. We hope her mixed media piece brings a smile to your face too.

Thanks Cassie! It was a fun piece to paint. If anyone has other questions about the process or even chickens that ride bikes, I would love to answer them.

Very unique, has a very original feel to it, both vintage and yet modern, uplifting and also thought provoking. I can see a painting like this hanging in my kitchen!

Mixed feelings on this mixed media. I get why everyone likes it, but the whole "painting over dictionary pages" thing is so overdone (See Etsy for many, many examples). I hate being negative, but I wanted to comment on why I was downvoting an otherwise nice piece of art.

She reminds me of Ginger in the movie Chicken Run - I love that plucky bird! : ) Congrats, Julene - you are getting well-deserved recognition!

Looks too rusty and "dirty" my my tastes. Don't like such styles.

why are these pieces still up if "voting is complete"? You should take them down when you don't want any more votes.
