In my May 6th post on artist Leslie DeRose,

I wrote that I love her bicycle-map paintings –
and was really hoping to commission her to create a bicycle-map painting of
Sitka, Alaska, where my husband and I rented bikes on our honeymoon!

That afternoon, Nick commented:
Love them!
Totally agree on the topo paintings!
I think a repeat is definitely in order.
Thanks for the introduction!

And Jacquie commented:
Just checked out her whole shop and its filled with beautiful pieces. Love it!
I love the meaning behind the commissioned work and I think it'll turn out lovely.

So here she is…back by popular demand…Leslie DeRose and the new painting she created for me
entitled Bike Sitka!

I was just delighted with the painting!!
I love how she found and incorporate a 1967 vintage map of Sitka into the work!
Hope you enjoy it, too!

Have an inspiring and creative week!

And Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband, Dan!
Mary
