THE BIKE: A powerful cycling leg set against the rugged Ponderosa Pines.

THE MARATHON: The final, grueling 42.2km run toward the historic finish line.

The piece is rich with local symbolism, featuring the "hard-edged" reality of the South Okanagan landscape, including the Osprey, the Prickly Pear Cactus, and the Rattlesnake coiled among the rocks.Museum-Quality Presentation & ProvenanceMedium: Hand-rendered using a sophisticated blend of Airbrush, Oil Pastel, Watercolor, and Ink.
