Motorcycle 2 Drawing

This work was inspired by the view from my classroom window. I teach high school art, and I'm lucky enough to be in an urban setting with a view of the city of Tucson, Arizona. A parking enforcement officer caught my attention when he was trying to ticket this motorcycle for not having the hazard lights flashing in the 15 minute parking zone (this is often the case as the sign is posted but not always noticed by drivers). I went outside and started to photograph the motorcycle and explained to the officer that I was an artist and I planned on drawing it. We spent 5 minutes engaged in conversation about art and classic cars, motorcycles, etc. and in that time the owner of the bike drove off, completely avoiding getting a ticket and a pretty hefty fine. Although the image itself doesn't necessarily tell this story, it's something I always think about when I look at it, when initially my appreciation was for the way the light and color reflected off the bike itself.
