Classic Bicycle beside a Canal

A dark green step-through bicycle leans against the stone wall beside a quiet canal. Its wicker basket is full of small white and purple flowers, with a brass bell above the curved handlebar and pale tires standing out against the paving. Beyond the bicycle, a low bridge, narrow house fronts and still water carry the view towards a distant tower.

The two wheels make useful round anchors, but the spokes become easier after the frame and basket are in place. Follow the stone quay along the lower edge before sorting the canal reflections. House colors repeat in the water, though their lines bend and break there. The flowers, shutters and bridge railing add small clusters of detail around the larger green and blue sections.
