Paris Roubaix Femmes '22: Ready for Her Close Up


 I enjoy when the camera operators get each other into one of their shots.  Here the helicopter is not only showing us Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) alone with a 38 second advantage, but they are also letting us see one of the TV moto guys standing on the back of the motorcycle so we can see a close up of the Italian Champion looking like she will be the second queen of Paris Roubaix Femmes.  I pharaphrased Gloria Swanson's famous line,"I'm ready for my close up Mister DeMille" to title this painting.  I feel certain now that Elisa will get a close up as she crosses the finish line in the fabled Roubaix velodrome in another four and a half kilometers.  I don't think it will be a group photo either.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The painting was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 USD plus shipping, and yes international shipping is available.
