This image from Stage 13 was made as the leading trio of Daniel Martínez (EF Pro Cycling) and the two Bora-Hansgrohe men Max Schachmann and Lennard Kämna were making their way towards the steep slopes of the Puy Mary in the Massif Central. This scene shows them passing by a house that was decked in flags – a lovely welcome seen everywhere as the Tour passes by.
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 make a lot of pictures and choose the best ones to publish. There are many that don’t work but I have started to recycle them as the base paper for handmade prints and for collages. I have put that work to one side while the Tour is on but hope to publish some of these pieces at some point soon. Many thanks for your lovely comment and question, Maxine 🙂

How are you able to capture these images so quickly? Or so accurately?
