Paris Nice 2022: He Knew It Was His


It must be an incredible feeling to look at a stage and be convinced that it is your stage to win, and then go out and win it.  As an artist, I never trust the feeling that the painting I am starting is going to be great.  But then I always know that I can do better.  That doesn't mean that every painting is a failure, it actually means they are all successes because each one teaches me how to do better.  Meanwhile, back at this painting.  The two kilometer rise to the line certainly played to Mads Pedersen's (Trek Segafredo) strengths.  More surprising to me is that Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) was a close run second, and/or that Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) couldn't out sprint him.  After all, WVA has won the sprint on the Champs Elysees and a mountain top finish on Mont Ventoux, this should have been well in his wheelhouse.

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