Beijing 2022: Something to Celebrate


Crossing the line with a run that she knew was good enough for a medal, Elana Meyers Taylor (USA) threw her fist in the air in celebration.  She and her teammate (and brakewoman) Sylvia Hoffman won the Bronze medal in the two-woman bobsled, making Meyers Taylor the most decorated black American Winter Olympian.  Her fist in the air caused no reacion unlike it did 54 years ago when Tommie Smith raised his black fist in the air on the podium of the Summer Olympics in 1968.  Look it up.  

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.
