From the start of the Opening Ceremonies to what I am sure will be a fabulous Closing, I have been very impressed with the French sense of design in these Olympics. Even the jumps in the equestrian events have been both beautiful and a bit tongue-in-cheek. During the event one of the jumps is the base of the Eiffel Tower. I was not aware that there is such a thing as a "jump-off" in equestrian competition, but that is what it came down to for the medals in the men's individual jumping event. Only one of the three put in a perfect run, and unfortunately for Maikel Van Der Vleuten (Netherlands) his one fault and slightly slower ride than his British rival, he will take the Bronze Medal after finishing the regular time with a perfect run.
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 work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
