Olympics 2018: Determined

I am currently traveling and do not have my normal set up for photographing these watercolors.  Put I love both watching and painting the Olympics.  I am currently in Colorado to see our brand new grand daughter, so I apologize for the shadow and the cropping of this image.

This is Michelle Gisin (Switzerland) on her way to a Gold Medal in the Women's Combined in Pyeong Chang.

Olympics 2018: Left Turn

Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) was laying down a brilliant run in the slalom race of the Women's Combined.  Her time was enough to put her into first place, giving her a shot at winning her second Gold Medal of these games.  It was not to be, but she did take Silver in this event.

Olympics 2018: Cutting It Close

In slalom skiing, it doesn't matter if you hit the gate with you body, as long as your skis go on the correct side of the base of the gate.  Actually, the closer you are, the more likely it will be a better time at the line.  Skiers will wear a protective face guard, along with wrist and shin guards to prevent being injured by the force of striking the poles at 70 kilometers an hour or faster.  While Denise Feierabend (Switzerland) was cutting this gate to perfection, her run was not enough to get her onto the podium in Pyeong Chang.

Olympics 2018: On Course

I confess that part of the reason I painted Meta Hrovat (Slovenia) was the brilliant green of her ski suit.  Sometimes you just have to go for the colors.  However her run had her finishing with the best time at the end of her run.  Sadly, she eventually slipped down to 14th on the day.  But she looked good doing it!

Olympics 2018: Tight Line

The grace and speed of skiing lends itself nicely to painting.  I have always loved capturing the figure, movement and color on paper, and the alpine events lend themselves nicely to that passion.  Ricarda Haaser (Austria) laid down a great run to top the leader board as she finished.  Too bad for her that some of the big names in her sport were yet to take on the second run of the Women's Giant Slalom.  She finished the day in 17th place, yet she did spend some time on the leader's box watching the rest of her competitors.

Olympics 2018: Looking for Gold

It is always nice when the guy taking the Gold Medal also has one of the best kits on the hill!  Marcel Hirscher (Austria) showed why he is considered the best at the slalom.  His brilliant run earned him the win in the Men's Combined.

Olympics 2018: Through the Gate

With the limited time I have for painting these Olympics I am picking a choosing the events that interest me.  Always a sucker for speed, here are some pieces from the Men's Combined-Slalom.

This is Victor Muffat-Jeandet (France) laying down a great run that put him into first place at the bottom of the hill.  Unfortunately, he wasn't the last man down the hill.  His time did hold up enough to give him a Bronze Medal, the first French medal since 1948 in Alpine Skiing.
