Tour Stage Twenty: TeJay Tries Again

For the third day in the Alps, TeJay Van Garderen must be feeling good, because he was out of the peloton and off in search of a mountain top victory.  Pierre Rolland is desperately trying to hold the wheel of the charging American in hopes of shoring up his lead in the Polka Dot Jersey.  If TeJay had felt like this in the Pyrenees. BMC may well be having a very different Tour de France.  As it is, he is doing a great job flying the colors of Team BMC.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that could be yours by visiting my artist website where you can purchase this painting.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 100th Tour de France.

Giro Day Nineteen: What Are You Doing?

The way I am creating this work is to watch the RAI TV feed and then pause the video when something catches my eye.  I don't speak Italian so I am not always sure of what the commentators are talking about (I am getting better at understanding as the Giro goes on).  So when I paused this I couldn't figure out why Cavendish had come to the front of the peleton or why his fellow Omega Pharma Quickstep teammate had just swung off the front.  After finishing this piece and restarting the broadcast, I learned what was going on, one of the Intermediate Sprints was about 100 meters ahead of this image.  This is an original watercolor and ink painting and can be yours by visiting my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
