Just as I typed out the title of this painting did I realize that I had used yet another pun in my titling of my artwork. I had wanted to paint one of the German sleds just to add a bit of a variation of the overwhelmingly cool palette of vitually all of these Winter Olympics watercolors. Their yellow (or golden yellow) sleds are a pleasant change for the eyes. Plus this is Laura Nolte (Germany) jumping into her sled on her final glide down the House of Speed track. Her Gold Medal run meant that Germany all but one of the sliding events held in these Games. Now that is impressive!
