This is the second time I was able to see Didi Stenft (aka The Devil) at this Tour. And it is the second day I've noticed that he was standing on something to get a better view of the race as it goes by. Time was he would leap high in the air, but perhaps age is finally catching up to this wonderful fixture of the Tour de France. After all, I have been painting him since I started painting the Grand Boucle back in 2012. Clearly, he is fourteen years older than when I first spied him on the side of the road leaping with the joy of the Tour. He cheered enthusiastically as Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) flew by on his way to a very decisive stage victory. Is it the move that will win him his fifth Tour de France? Only time... and fifteen more stages will tell.
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.
