"What It Takes"
Introducing Tom Fritz On His Newest Oil Painting
"Although this is a depiction of a rider in a signature posture, I
intentionally chose a vantage point which obscured pertinent details
of his act in order to direct focus to the rider himself -- all
gussied-up in his leather, attitude, and righteous pretensions."
"I strove to depict self-assuredness. Confidence. Getting his highs.
Making it happen. (While doing all this, the title came from some
dusty corner of my noggin during the painting and stuck.) It?s one of
a thousand moments on a bike where he is caught, sucked in by his
addictions, playing the game, doing it instead of talking about it. -
Experiencing a soulful connection between a himself and the machine;
a relationship that transcends the motorcycle and is part of my
mission - to focus on the grandness of the art of riding and the
spirit of it all."
This original oil painting is 23 x 30 (33 x 41 framed). To date
every painting that Tom has painted has sold immediately. The price,
framed and shipped, is $21,000. Dealer price is $14,750. First
