Artist Marc Ahr attended many of the Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler over the 17 days of the Olympics, rapidly painting a total of 25 watercolor sketches of events. His goal was to complete his sketches in time with the race's winner to add their autograph. We first saw his work in a store window late one evening, then got a glimpse of the artist on the 18th day, when he stopped by Time Frame Gallery in Vancouver. He was exhausted!
We liked them all, but finally settled on a small version of the Closing Ceremonies. See thumbnails of his marathon on Marc's website. I suspect his sketch of the ice hockey game between Canada and Team USA will be most popular! Sketches are available in print and on T-shirts.
Wonder if he will be recuperated in time to paint the Paralympics, two weeks later.
