17 Sep 20 Pieces 20 Days – KOLOHE’S AIR at HURLEY PRO – Day 1
KOLOHE’S AIR 11″ x 14″ on Canvas Board
FOR THE NEXT 20 DAYS, I’M CREATING 20 ORIGINAL ART PIECES that reflect my thought process and where my ideas originate from. I’m painting from the heart, just having fun with it. You might love ’em, you might hate ’em, but either way, I hope they invoke a feeling for you.

Today’s Painting is the First of 20, titled KOLOHE’S AIR 11 x 14 on Canvas Board, Uni Posca Paint Pens.
This morning I wanted to sit and paint on the beach as I watched the Hurley Pro Surfing contest at Lower Trestles.
I was so inspired by Kolohe Andino’s air, as he surfed against Taj Burrows, that I had to paint it!
When Kolohe was only 2 years old and I was working at the old …Lost shop in San Clemente, his dad Dino brought him in to check out the surfboard factory.
Painting on the Beach at Hurley Pro, Trestles
I dipped young Kolohe’s feet in blue tempera paint and let him walk on his dad’s Lost surfboard, decorating the deck. It looked cool. But, I think his mom got mad that I got paint all over her baby!
Now, many years later, I proudly watch this local San Clemente kid tearing it up on the ASP World Tour.
Kolohe didn’t win his heat this morning, but, his air was sick.
Hope you enjoy it!
Life is Good, Drew
