Paris Olympics 2024, Women's Team Fencing - Foil: A Golden Touch

I do enjoy how NBC opens their primetime coverage of the Olympics with a perfect moment of Team USA winning a gold medal.  Tonight it was L. Scruggs (USA) scoring the winning touche against A. Errigo (Italy) to give her team the Gold Medal.  Naturally, it is Italy winning the Silver.  I love this sport having had the chance to learn it in Junior College so very many years ago.  Side note, Scruggs is currently a student at Harvard.  I will never measure up to either her academic prowess or her physical prowess.

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.

Rio Olympics: Touche

I had fun way back in Community College when I got to take a fencing class for my physical education credit.  I was already racing bicycles, so I didn't pursue the sport any further, but it is one of those obscure sports that I truly enjoy.  Back then so was bicycle racing in the United States.  B. Steffen (Switzerland) is scoring with a "touche" on his rival Sangyoung Park (South Korea).  The match went the other way however, with Park moving on to the Gold Metal bout, with Steffen left to the Bronze.

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.
