La Vuelta a España -2017: Climbing to the blue

cycling, art, la vuelta, vuelta 2017

Hola! Today’s image is taken from Stage 5 and shows something that strikes me every time I see the Mediterranean coastline – the sky and sea are such amazing blues – so intense. The race took a route through these gorgeous colours finishing on a very sharp climb which pushed even the best to their limits. Another fab day!

Climbing to the blue

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.

      I couldn’t agree more! There is a beautiful time in the evening when the colours seem to be a combination of rose pink and aquamarine, just extraordinary and mesmerising! There has been a two-part programme on BBC 4 all about the artists who lived and worked on the Cote d’Azur and the French Riviera – I thought of you! The sea was so blue! No wonder they were so inspired – such a lovely place to be. 🙂
