The best way to get the images of the race that we all enjoy is to be in the middle of the race on the back of a motorcycle. Here as the peloton spreads across the narrow road, a photographer turns around to shoot the group as they chase down the lone escapee. I have seen this particular helmet over the years shooting races. Does anyone know who wears a red helmet with a white stripe and a white star? The drivers must be very skilled to stay out of the way of the race and counter balance the squirming photographers and videographers that are their charges.
I once tried to see if I could paint the races this way. Silly I know, but it would have been cool. But the weather of this race thus far would have made it impossible let alone the infeasiblitly of painting on a moving motorcycle on back country roads.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of this post. Since it is an original it is first come first served. The painting was created using Yarka St Petersburg watercolors from Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 plus shipping. And yes, international shipping is available.
