Giro Day Five: Multi Tasking at 44 kph

Riders in the peleton are capable of many different feets, many of them at the same time.  The rider for Team Venezuela is eating while he is putting on a rain vest, don't forget that he is also riding along in a group of over two hundred cyclist at roughly 44 kilometers per hour.  Stage 5 plagued the riders with heavy down pours and bright sun, with everything inbetween, it felt like they were constantly changing clothes and trying to eat enough to keep up their energy.  A cyclist while burn 6,000 calories in an average stage so eating enough is a constant challenge.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard create with Richeson Company cake watercolors, brushes and papers.  This painting, and all of the works in the series, are available on my artist web site, just follow the direct link at the end of the post.

Giro Day Four: Watching Wiggins

Near the very end of the stage, Team Sky and favorite, Bradley Wiggins went to the front of the peleton and started tamping out the rhythm.  The rest of the peleton got nervous and watch Wiggins very carefully expecting him to attack at any moment.  In the end it was the another rider that launched the attack and Wiggins who ended up losing time.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and is available for purchase on my artist web site.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your affordable original art.
