Rio Olympics: Fighting the Dragon

According to the announcers on NBC, each of the teams have a theme to their performances, not that the judges nor audience are told what it is.  The Japanese team had center their routine on the idea of fighting the dragon.  Some of the movements were very much in keeping with ritual dragon dance moves.  And then their swimsuits were a very stylized dragon motif.  The Japanese were very thrilled to win the Bronze medal after their powerful and beautiful performance.

This is a small watercolors and ink painting measuring just 4"x6" and was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting and all of my Olympics artwork will be available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Remember this is an original work of art, so once it has been sold, it is gone.  Don't delay buy it now!
