Tour of Britain 2021: Stage 2, Deep shadows
The Tour of Britain crossed the border to Devon in glorious autumn sunshine. A real scorcher! Very beautiful course, especially through Dartmouth and finishing in Exeter. Just to remind us how lovely the UK is when the sun shines! I loved making this image, as the shadows were so deep, almost black, against the olive […]

Tour of Britain 2021: Stage 1, Cornwall
The Tour of Britain began today in Cornwall, visiting the county (country?) for the first time. It’s an incredible part of the UK, independent and unruly, characteristics echoed by the course, which ran along impossibly narrow lanes, steep climbs and sudden twists. The crowds were fantastic and the flags of Cornwall out in force along […]

Tour of Britain: Coming to Wrexham
The Tour of Britain is one of my favourite races – not surprising really! Like any race on ‘home’ territory, for a fan, it’s lovely to see star riders from your own country alongside top teams and riders from across the world. When they come past your own front door almost – it’s a great […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 21 – The Arc
Stage 21, Paris. The flag that flies suspended from the arch of the Arc du Triomphe, is a favourite element of the Paris stage, as is the monument at the top of the Champs Elysee itself. It’s great to see the peloton hurtling round this iconic landmark. It’s been a heck of a race this […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 21 – Wout’s wheels
Stage 21 – Paris, and the one where Mark Cavendish breaks Merckx’s record and wins 35 stages….but sadly the fairytale finish wasn’t to be. The stage began well, but towards the climax, Cavendish became separated from his lead out man, and instead took up position on the wheels of Wout Van Aert. He was side […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 20 – Tadej waits
Stage 20 – Tadej waits to start his time trial. He is in yellow and has been for so much of the race. He has made a remarkable start to his career, raced two Tours de France and won them both, not to mention his other achievements. This view shows just how young he is, […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 18 – Pretty Town
Another little study from Stage 18 that I like because of the peloton taking a bend, always love to see it and draw it – This town was attractive too, very French even down to the ‘Tabac’ sign – beautiful! Stage 18, Pretty town £150 Original watercolour with pen and ink Original watercolour, with pen […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 18 – A little study

Tour de France 2021: Stage 18 – Wout
Stage 18 – and a view, (finally!) of Wout Van Aert, who is such an accomplished cyclist – he can do anything – with his sights also set on the Olympics soon, but he seems to be able to do anything, from climbing to sprinting and of course, time trialling, this multi-talented Belgian rider is […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 18 – Follow that man!
Stage 18 – The last day in the Pyrenees and what a gruelling few days it’s been! Everyone pushed to the absolute limit – Here is a scene reflecting how hot it was and the descent – Jackets flying in the breeze – probably not the best aerodynamics but probably felt very good! Stage 18, […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 17 – Col du portet
Stage 17 was a complicated one with lots going on – especially at the end – and yes, I’m still working on those images! Here though, is a little panorama that I quite liked which shows a lot of polka dots as the King of the Mountains, Wout Poels climbs the Col du Portet – […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 17 – Bastille Day
Stage 17 was a complicated one with lots going on – especially at the end – I’m still working on that! However, the stage also fell on Bastille Day and this image was lovely to make because two French riders from two French teams lead the race at least for a while. The flag in […]

Tour de France 2021: Stage 16 – David Gaudu
David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) ahead of Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious) working so hard to keep the distance – a brilliant descender and very exciting to watch.. I applied oil pastel here to add highlights and emphasis – Lovely gooey material with all the quality of oil. David Gaudu £175 Original watercolour, with pen and ink and […]
