All hail the Sand Queen! Great race by Inge van der Heijden at the CX Euros today. Just out in front the whole time, thanks to skill and teamwork. Sat down for a couple hours to make a postcard painting (5.5” x 3.5”) of her final lap, dutifully guarded by the X2O duckies.

Saw this on booooooom—a blackout/erasure tool (created by artist Emily Edwards) that posts a page from a public domain text everyday.

fouuund.it

Maybe not optimized for smartphones yet…anyway, I prefer the erasure toggle. Went minimalist with my first poem.

Oh man, if I had lived closer to this bar 15 years ago when I lived in Chicago…

Pretty cool that over the past few years women’s cycling has reached a point where the retirement of a legend is big deal. The peloton is always changing, I guess.

This is one of my favorite little paintings I’ve done. @lidltrek.bsky.social’s Ellen van Dijk on a solo break at Paris-Roubaix 2025.

This is one of the most ridiculous TdF stunts I’ve seen, wtf haha

Another great @lavueltafem.bsky.social, won by an indomitable Demi! There’s always a moment in a stage race that sticks with me. This time it was the peloton sweeping down past a rock formation for the Stage 3 intermediate sprint.

Here’s my postcard painting of it. 5.5” x 3.5” acrylic on canvapaper

Rewatched #parisroubaixfemmes to find a moment for a quick postcard painting today. Chose @lidltrek.bsky.social’s Ellen van Dijk on a breakaway, passing a pink flowering tree at 63 km. Perfect too, since she’s in the red jersey due to the TTT win at La Vuelta Fem.

I’m a sucker for any art book published by booooooom.com

A bit of #foundpoetry from a scam bot email I received today about a “reservation”:

“I’m a neck craning toward what the breeze once said.”

A view from the bike path. Big, empty(?) buildings near Joliet’s old ironworks. Based on a photo I took in 2015. #painting #art

Nothing else to do while my foot heals but watch cycling and paint.

I’m one of those people who like to watch #milanosanremo from Genova to the finish.

Here’s a postcard #painting that I started and finished this AM (5.5”x3.5” acrylic on canvapaper) of the #sanremowomen passing through Imperia.

Always thinking about cyclocross…which is why even now I’m trying to take corners in my house as fast as possible without braking

5.5”x3.5” acrylic painting based on a 2013 photo I took at Six Flags Great America. When I was like 8, the Little Dipper was a wooden coaster at a small local-ish amusement park in Melrose Park, outside Chicago. The only coaster I ever enjoyed, now moved to a big park.

New little 5.5” x 3.5” painting based on a Gmaps screengrab just outside Red Wing, MN (first time I’ve ever painted a car, so ehh…)

The move on the last lap that I think won the race…Fem squeezed Lucinda toward the barriers and takes the front position after a small downhill (a fair move without contact, imo)

Sketched for about 30 min before I realized I really needed to eat some lunch…today’s action at Maasmechelen. Zoe Backstedt challenging Puck Pieterse for the front. (It was a good race!)

Felt a little burnt out from Zwift last night, so I spent my spare hour with chalk and charcoal instead of riding.

Fem van Empel at this year’s Beringen Be-Mine Cross. Not sure if I’ll spray it or keep working on it later…

Last 5.5” x 3.5” (on 7x5 canvapaper) painting of 2024. From a photo I took in 2012.

A small acrylic painting based on a photo I took while hiking the Maxwell Falls trail (I think) more than a dozen years ago in Colorado
