Tour de France 2016: Stage 4 – Saumur to Limoges

Tour de France, Cycling, art, Sunny peloton, by Maxine Dodd

Bonjour! Stage 4 continued the theme of Stage 3, this was really the longest route of the Tour through luscious countryside and warm sunshine. The route was suited to the sprinters but held a twist at the end, with an unclassified climb. This suited the bigger riders and again we saw another remarkable sprint finish – even closer than yesterday, ‘A cat’s whisker’ said the delighted winner, Marcel Kittel. Fantastic!  Here are my drawings:

I’m a mixed media visual artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work reflects my love of drawn media, especially pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. My theme is movement – My subjects are varied from landscape, animals, musicians, dancers and sport, especially cycling. The unifying feature of all these subjects is that they are constantly changing – there is movement and energy everywhere.

      Bless you Jackie! Thanks very much. I like this theme because it shows every single post I’ve ever done – warts and all as Oliver Cromwell said! I can’t believe that this is the fifth anniversary of my blog ‘Racing Lines’ – it’s been so great to do and I’m still hooked! 🙂
