Short Sharp Sprint

Adrenaline, action, excitement!

My favourite part of every stage is the finish... I guess it's the rider's best bit too.

The Effort of the Final Lap

The race to the end after 21 stages was ferocious! 

I love the images from Le Tour. 

These are my own, captured from the "live" TV action with my camera.

The blurs make each image unique.

Shark Bay in Winter

Today I drove to the eastern suburbs, to visit this beautiful beach and do some watercolour paintings of the aqua green water. It was sunny and warm, very pleasant considering it is mid-winter!
When I arrived the beach was empty, but soon was filled with families and children, some swimming, some playing in the sand. Definitely no sign of sharks.. but that said, there is a big shark net protecting the swimming area.
This view is looking south, where sandstone rocks have eroded and fallen into the water.

Leadouts Pull Back

"Leadouts Pull Back"

Sold

Sprinters are led to the finish line by powerful team members... 

They are called "leadouts", and, just at the right distance... they pull aside, 

allowing the star sprinters to make a final dash.

Size is 24x 32cm 

(Will suit an IKEA "Ribba" frame $14.99, with some trimming of the mat)

Impress Action

I wanted to re-create the blur, the impression, of the action as filmed by the cameraman.

Riders in focus, but other vehicles swing around behind in a blur of action.

Breathtaking speeds are reached when these riders pass over the alps. Sold

On the Turn (with crowds)

I have tried to transfer this post from Ebay with little success: they add so much of their own rubbish (logos etc) that the post looks blinking awful. I am not sure if a good app does exist for multiple postings, but I'd sure like it if there was one. Manually posting to ebay, then to blog then twitter can get time consuming: time better spent painting!! Anyway, enough of my rant. Here is an earlier painting from about 2 weeks ago, and as usual, it's from Le Tour de France. Sold
