This 16" x 20" mixed media piece captures the exhilarating moment of a mountain biker catching air at Alafia State Park in Florida. Created in 2025 for Fall's friend Tony, an avid mountain biking enthusiast, the artwork combines a vibrant watercolor landscape with meticulously detailed colored pencil renderings. The composition balances dynamic action with environmental context, featuring the park's trail map in the upper corner and playful silhouettes of local wildlife (yes alligators are a trail hazard in the summer). Fall's signature style merges technical precision with artistic expression, transforming an adrenaline-filled moment into a celebration of outdoor adventure and Florida's unique mountain biking culture.
