Rio Olympics: Lift Off

I will admit that I painted this mainly for the orange jacket on the Dutch rider.  Maikel Van Der Vleutin (Netherlands) was one of the riders who knocked down a rail on his ride.  Sadly he did it on the very last gate, and with it his chances of an Olympic medal went with the rail.  But hey, he has an amazing orange riding jacket, so all is not lost.

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.
