Tour Down Under '23, Stage 1: The Throw to the Line


It was quite a close sprint to the line into Tanunda that compeleted the first road stage of the Tour Down Under.  It was Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious) that got the best of Caleb Ewan (UniSA-Australia) and Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla).  Matthews needed to win the stage to claim the Ochre Jersey of race leader, but he has move much closer to the lead of Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost).  While I was painting this I noticed that Ewan's bike throw had him off the seat almost sitting on his rear wheel.  While aggressive, the move was almost enough to gain him the first open road stage win of the 2023 Tour Down Under.

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
