Finally completed this for DREAMS. Had a bit of a think because the things I dream of are mostly very difficult to express in a tangible form. However, one morning over coffee with my husband, he mentioned the topic which immediately struck a chord with me and I KNEW I had my DREAM art quilt.
One of my great joys was riding my motorcycle with my husband and often groups of friends who ride. Off we would go on the open road hunting down beautiful back roads to explore. A few years ago, due to circumstance beyond my control, I had to sell my "baby". It is something that is difficult for me especially every spring when up here in the frozen tundra we finally have nice weather and the bikes are out in droves!......but I'm not with them. I miss riding more that words can say but any rider would understand. My dream is one day to have a bike and take off on the open road once again. Hence the title of this piece: OPEN ROAD. This is my view from my bike on the open road with hills and lakes and beautiful sky....

I used to have a Vespa. All these years on I still remember the feel of the wind on my face when exploring on a lovely day. I miss it but would probably be scared stiff to get on one today. I can understand the sentiments behind your piece.
