Description
Imagine an artist, wearing a crumpled straw hat in the middle of a field, stooped at his easel, in the midday heat of Southern France. He is intensely painting his impression of dozens of colorful bicycle riders as they whir by in a flash of titanium and carbon fiber and then vanish like the Sirocco winds. They are gone in moments, leaving the artist to dab his colors in a frenzy, while the memory is still vivid.

My impression of what Vincent Van Gogh might have seen if he had witnessed the 2007 Tour De France as it goes through Arles today.
Made a Bryce render with a bunch of lo-rez bikes & riders I made and then took the render into Painter and slapped some paint around.

Ridiculous, funny and amazing all at once, you've done it again! I heard that the French wanted to start the Tour in London this year because they still claim to hold title to that land, it's ...bygolly... a piece of France Outre-Mer! and don't you forget it, remember that Treaty? Non?
