Rio Olympics: Jumping Away

While equestrian events are always a team sport, between horse and rider, today was the first round of team jumping.  As per usual, I try to focus on the finals of what I paint, it is always a treat to check in on the preliminaries.  The German team had all for of their riders ride a fault free course, including Daniel Deusser on his horse First Class.

This is a small watercolors and ink painting measuring just 4"x6" and was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting and all of my Olympics artwork will be available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Remember this is an original work of art, so once it has been sold, it is gone.  Don't delay buy it now!

Rio Olympics: A Clean Ride

Whenever I talk about going for a ride, I am referring to cycling, but I still have friends who think this is what I mean.  Today was the conclusion of Individual Equestrian Eventing.  I was confused and thought when I heard the announcer say it was the final event, that I had missed all of the Equestrian competitions.  Fortunately that was not the case.  It was the German, Michael Jung who took the Gold Medal, defending his title from four years ago.
