I can't remember ever seeing Tahiti or any of the other South Pacific island nations at the Worlds before, but then Australia is certainly a lot closer than Europe on the Americas. So it was a treat to see Tekau Hapairai, Kylie Crawford, and Elodi Touffet (Tahiti) out on course after the male members of their team had finished their lap of the Mixed Team Relay. This is only the third year of this event which replaced the team time trials of years past. It makes more sense to have teams compete under their national flag then as their trade teams as it was in years past. With no disrespect to the teams efforts, they were not quite the well oiled machine of some of the big name European teams, but the joy they felt to be competing at the worlds was unmistakable.
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 $90 USD including shipping, and yes, international shipping is available.
If you can't afford to purchase a piece you could always help keep me going by buying me a cup of coffee at buymeacoffee.com/greigsartc. And check out my vlogs at my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLGX-TnjXDSkkOidUE6pN1g
