Geithner Au Revoir

Ahhh ... the Pyreneees.

Tomorrow, the mountains finally arrive. Two leg shattering climbs, both famous. The Col de Tourmalet and Luz-Ardiden. All spellings approximate. In lieu of riding, I'll be watching. Which means some delay in the next painting (although I suppose I could paint in the afternoon).

How 'bout this picture of Timmy the G?



Anybody who looks at my work with any degree of attention knows I love the hands. So what's not to like here? The urge to paint him sideways is almost overpowering.

I have a history of unusual Geithner paintings...



I'm calling it Geithner Au Revoir. Which is strong, as titles go.

But first, the mountains.
