summer olympics

Did you know that Art competitions were part of the events at the at the Olympic Games from 1912 to 1948?  they were discontinued due to concerns about amateurism and professionalism. Since 1952, a non-competitive art and cultural festival has been associated with each Olympic Games.  Do you get inspired by events like the Olympics? There are many events during the summer games that would be amazing to capture on canvas.  Think I'll go work on something: lets see my favorites, cycling, swimming, archery, equestrian, or gymnastics. I think I'll have to do something for all of those.
