Well of course Le Tour had rain when it chose to have the Grand Depart in Yorkshire and London in 2014.  Capturing the cyclists as they go through the streets of a rain-soaked London. White lines slippery with rain. Kerb stones and street furniture to avoid. All part of the day for the riders. It makes for a tiring day.

A 61 x 61 x 1.5 cm acrylic painting with the painting continuing on the canvas wrapped round the shallow stretchers.  Sitting in an ivory white wood  case frame with rings and cord so that it is ready to hang.

The painting has been painted by building up layers of colour and therefore changes colour in the light that plays on it. This is reflected in the photos which you will see are different as some in sunlight and some in flat light.
