TITLE: JAWS (The Surf Spot)

SIZE: 11″x 14″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

I spent all day Sunday watching the Big Wave Jaws contest. Many of my friends were surfing in the event. Jaws is a place I’ve always wanted to surf.

Jaws is in Maui and it’s a heaving right tube that gets well over forty feet.

Yesterday they really pushed the limits of big wave surfing, once again. Guys were paddling into some of the biggest waves ever paddled into. It was exciting to watch.

This painting study is available – SOLD to Scott A of NV, a collector of my work that knows a good wave when he sees it.

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

TITLE: The Day Before the Swell

SIZE: 11″x 14″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

Now, the big waves are coming and El Nino begins.

This painting study is available – SOLD to Kathy O., a longtime collector of my work, from Virginia Beach, VA.

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

FOR 50 DAYS, I’M CREATING 50 PAINT STUDIES that reflect 50 things that fascinate me.

This is #41 of 50 in the #50Paintings Paint Studies series. Only 9 left to go!

TITLE: West Reef

SIZE: 11″x 14″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

West reef is about a half a mile off shore in San Clemente. It only breaks when there’s a giant swell.

I get so excited when I see the waves breaking out there. The long paddle out is always worth it.

The water is very clear and it’s like surfing over a giant aquarium; you get to see many different kinds of fish and sharks.

West Reef is also one of the rare spots you get to surf alone.

Now, the big waves are coming and El Nino begins!

This painting study is available – SOLD to Scott A. from Henderson, NV, a collector of my art who owns many pieces. Stoked!.

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

I was inspired to paint this after seeing the swell forecast for this week. The Northern Pacific ocean is about to turn into a monster.

Huge waves are coming.

This is #39 of 50 in the #50Paintings Paint Studies series.

TITLE: TAHITIAN REEF HUT

SIZE: 11″x 14″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

When I was in Tahiti a couple months ago, I paddled out to the contest scaffolding for the Billabong Pro, which sits on the reef right in front of the world famous surf break called Teahupoo.

How great would it be to live right there on the scaffolding? You could spearfish off the edge and then surf out front. If you needed something else you could paddle to shore, get on the bus and take it to town. At night you could listen to the waves break while staring at the stars. My dream life.

This painting study is available – SOLD to Tyler in PA.

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

FOR 50 DAYS, I’M CREATING 50 PAINT STUDIES that reflect 50 things that fascinate me.

This is #38 of 50 in the #50Paintings Paint Studies series.

TITLE: CHASING WAVES WITH FUDO

SIZE: 11″x 14″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

Today’s painting is inspired by the idea of being on a boat, chasing waves, in far away places.

I added something different in the sky, inspired by my good friend Mark Longenecker (well known tattoo artist from Cocoa Beach, FL, and InkMasters TV Show star).

Mark was painting alongside me this morning, creating his own version of the Japanese Diety called FUDO. So I added FUDO into my sky.

FUDO is said to convert anger into compassion and cuts the ties of negative feelings to liberate us from the suffering through self control.

This painting study is ~~available~~ – SOLD to Elsie in Mission Viejo, CA.

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

TITLE: ELECTRIC UNIVERSE

SIZE: 12″x 12″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

One of my hobbies is studying alternate theories in physics.

One of the theories challenging the Theory of Relativity is The Electric Universe.

It says that the Universe works on electrical principles; that energy is exchanged electrically, galaxy to galaxy, from the sun to the planets.

Everything is an electrical exchange.
