I don’t normally paint crashes, but this pile up caught my eye. As the peloton flew down the Gorge Road back into Campbelltown, someone touched wheels and down went most of the Astana Qazaqstan team. Christian Scaroni was the first of the team to get back up on his bike. He watched and waited for his teammates, Michele Gazzoli and Samuele Battistella, to get untangled hoping none were seriously injured. They weren’t. Some where under under the pile is the Australian Champion, Luke Plapp (Jayco-Alula). Everyone was able to get back up and finish the stage, but with just ten kilometers to the line and the peloton flying to the finish, they weren’t going to be coming in with the pack. If fact, three of them finished almost ten minutes behind the winner of the stage.
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 $95 USD including shipping, but yes international shipping is both available and extra.
