Acrylic on canvas

When I see an abandoned bicycle I wonder whats the story? Here a young man leans his bike carelessly against a tree, as if to say Don’t worry, I’ll be right back. The thought is soothing to him, he is going to war. The bicycle remains through the years, so as not to break the spell that he might someday return. This painting is part of a series of stories realized as paintings and songs titled History Lessons.
