Giro Final Day: Everybody Still There?

With Omega Pharma Quickstep driving the whole peloton through the streets of Brescia the guys on the front want to make sure the train is in order and Mark Cavendish is still on board.  Cannondale has lined up behind them, taking the ride and waiting to launch their sprinter.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and can be yours by going to my artist website and adding it to your shopping cart.  Why not look at all of the art at the site?  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Giro Day Six: Another Victory Salute

 

I find Mark Cavendish to be am amazing sprinter.  Everyone expect him to be the guy, everyone tries to best him, every team tries to out preform his team and still he gets the win.  He does it with great lead out trains or he does it with no team support at all.  He does it when it all goes as planned, or he pulls it off when there is a wreck inside of the last three kilometers as he did in stage one.  So here is to his second stage win in the 2013 Giro d'Italia!  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and like all of the work in this series it is for sale on my artist website.  Just follow the link at the end of this post and get your painting of Mark winning a stage.

Giro Day Six: Super Aero Mark

There weren't many down hill stretches but Mark Cavendish took full advantage of this one to get as much speed as possible.  He has dropped into a very tight aerodynamic tuck with his chin resting on his folded hands atop the handlebars.  For all of you considering this on your next club ride, it is not the safest way to ride by far!  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and like all of the work in this series is available for sale at my artist web site.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of art and of Giro d'Italia 2013.

Giro Day Six: Riding for Cavendish

When you have the fastest sprinter in the world on your team and the stage is almost pan flight, it is your job to bring back the morning break away.  Omega Pharma Quickstep went to the front and pulled the peleton for most of the day, and then had the job of putting together a lead out train to launch the Manx Missile towards the line.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and can be yours by visiting my artist website.  Just follow this direct link to bid.

Giro Day Five: Under the Camera in the Sky

The video footage of the Giro is stunning, from the still cameras, boom cameras, 3 separate motorcyclist and cameraman duos, and two helicopter mounted cameras that capture every move of the race and the incredible scenery of the country of Italy (or France, or Spain).  Frequently, one camera crew will catch sight of another.  While the moto was filming the rear of the peleton they caught the helicopter above in their lens.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and like all of the works in this series, available for sale on my artist website.  Just follow the link at the end of this post.
