I took a bucket list motorcycle ride with my 84 year old Dad, from Crested Butte, Colorado to Vermont at leaf peak.  I rode mostly backroads, took a 5x7 painting box, rode 6000 miles over 4 weeks, and made 22 little paintings. Here are some  pictures and paintings from the ride.  All 22 paintings are visible on shaunhornegallery.com.  Look for Shaun's motorcycle ride in works by artist.
