First, I have to talk about the fan in front of her hedge on the side of the road. She represents something I have never done before in thirteen years of painting bike races. Without realizing I was doing this, this painting is from the exact same spot on course as the painting prior. It wasn't until I was drawing the fan shielding her eyes that I realized it was the same person. Then I worked on the same stonewall topped by the same hedge.
Okay, now on to the title. Marion Brunel (Visma-Lease a Bike) was coming back to the peloton through the race caravan (chasing the Lidl-Trek team car) as the Czechian champion Kristyna Burlova (Ceratizit) was drifting back pressured by the pace of the peloton chasing the breakaway.
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 $99 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
