It started in October on a beautiful Indian summer’s day. In Oregon, those kind of days are rare – especially for autumn. So, I called my buddies at Indian Motorcycle of Portland and asked them if they had a bike I could borrow for the afternoon. They were kind enough to offer me anything on the floor, and a hot red Indian Chief caught my eye. I’ve been wanting to take one of those out for a spin for quite a while, and the day and the opportunity where perfect. The Chief and I made our way to a cool Portland park with a pristine lake. So after shooting a couple good rolls of film, I had reference material for my next painting – the fifth in an ongoing motorcycle series of works.
