Criterium du Dauphine Stage One: 10 Minutes in Hand

This is the first of my paintings of the Criterium du Dauphine, and this, of course, is the break away of the day.  As in most every stage of the Giro, a small group of riders jumped away from the peloton almost as soon as the racing began.  The group of four is made up of Veilleux of Europcar, Damuseau of Argos-Shimano, Bideau of Team Bretagne and Ambroa of Euskatdel/Euskadi.  The break got over ten minutes on the peloton before it realized that no one yet had the yellow jersey.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from www.richesonart.com they make fabulous supplies at great prices.  This work, and all of the paintings that I will be doing of the Dauphine, will be available for purchase through my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
