    I'm working on a third in this newest series of cyclists during the Amgen Tour of California race held May 15-21st. One of these years I hope to be there in person rather than streaming and photographing live. I guess I am just a cycling fan who admires the tremendous physical and mental training and endurance to be successful in this sport.
It is interesting to decide which of the many photos I've taken to paint. I started with Majka winning Stage 2 because he held the "Yellow Jersey" until the 7th day. He certainly deserved the recognition. They were meant to be quick sketches but if you know me they turned into more than a simple sketch. The 2nd painting speaks to my love of shadows and I've got many cyclist shadows in my files. I thought the design on the diagonal was especially pleasing and yet the painting is simple (I don't do that very often successfully.) I might do a few more before the Tour de France starts -- any of you cyclists who have photos you would like to have painted -- contact me. Please comment using the form below. I love to hear what you think

Amgen Tour of California race that was held last year was a very memorable event., especially for you. I know how hard it was for you; the training process and the actual race itself. Though you have identified and realized that this world is indeed for you, there are still sacrifices you must have done just to make sure that everything will happen according to your favor. It must be very hard, but I know that it is your passion that fueled you to finish the race. Indeed, you did a great job! Leave a Reply. |
AuthorSharing my paintings with others is one of the joys in my life. Educating others about how I paint and the media I use is very important and why I wanted to reach out through this blog. Hope you will add a comment about what you see. What else would you like to see here?.
