While I don’t normally paint the crashes, they are so much a part of Paris Roubaix that I felt it was necessary. As they went into one of the most fabled pave sectors, the peloton shook apart and bodies went flying. It was so chaotic that I wasn’t able to get any of the names of those on the ground or tangled up in the piles of broken bikes. Some riders races ended at this moment in pain, most particularly last year’s winner, Dylan Van Baarle (Jumbo-Visma). For most of the others, it might as well have been over, since the attacks were going off the front as they were lying on the unmerciful cobblestones.
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, but yes international shipping is both available and extra.
