Not many rainy days this year. I love them, as the reflections and the steam make for great atmosphere. Not sure the riders are that keen, although the hot days seem so uncomfortable!

The Rear of the Peloton
The action is not always at the front!!
This is one of my favourite Le Tour paintings. I have given the original to my daughter. I have prints available through Etsy. I make the limited edition prints myself, matching the colour exactly! I use archival inks and paper, and they'll last longer than the originals!!
I have other works available too: MY ETSY SHOP
Racing Le Tour
I love painting speed from Le Tour de France. The actual protagonists are of little consequence: its mainly the colour and movement!!

Forever Winning, This Team
Another painting from Le Tour de France. This is from the team trials, where eight riders rode to win. No competition on the road, just the clock! I have deliberately left off the colours, just to add to the mystery...!

Le Tour de France – The Breakaway Through The Crowds
I've been painting Le Tour de France for a few years now, and I'm constantly trying to improve my technique. This is a slightly 'looser' impression than previous efforts, so I'm happy to post it here in my blog.

Storm Brewing at Nattai Mines

The Lights of Le Tour
Le Tour de France starts soon, and I'm doing some pre-race exercises! I start with watercolour, and then throw in acrylic to toughen up the colours.
I love this scene showing two anonymous riders being pushed along by the camera crew and support vehicle. They are at the "tête de la course".

Storm Afternoon
Many layers are sacrificed in the creation of this painting! I started with a watercolour of carefully drawn trees; then worked over, and over with acrylic colours and calligraphy. Lots of fun.
