Beijing 2022: Out of the Final Turn


This might just be the best painting I did if these Olympics.  But then I am rather found of speed skating having strapped on a pair a few times in my youth.  Chung Jae Won (Korea) led the field out of the final turn to open up the sprint for the line with his teammate, Lee Seung Hoon, poised to come out of the draft for the win.  However, it was Bart Swings (Belgium) who had the legs to win the sprint and the Gold medal.  It is his country's first Winter Games gold medal in 74 years!  Chung took Silver. That left Lee Seung Hoon and Joey Mantin (USA) literally fighting it out for the Bronze.  Despite Lee pulling back on Mantin as he pushed his skate over the line, the Bronze was awarded to Lee.  Mantin was left in fourth by 2/1000th of a second with his protest denied.

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 from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 USD plus shipping, and yes international shipping is available.
