TITLE: BANZAI PIPELINE, GREATEST SHOW ON SURF

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

This time of year, each year, they hold the Pipeline Masters Surf Contest on the North Shore of Oahu.

Pipeline is one of my favorite waves to surf. I used to live right in front of the break and surfed it every day.

It’s a critical wave, super dangerous, but so perfect. And as a spectator, it’s the best show on surf.

This painting study is ~~available~~ – SOLD to Aaron of Salem, OR. It’s his first original piece of my work.

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

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!

This is #37 of 50 in the #50Paintings Paint Studies series.

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.

TITLE: BEACH BOUNTY

SIZE: 8″x 10″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Archival Canvas Board.

When I was a little boy living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, I’d leave the house early in the morning with my 5 gallon bucket, net and fishing pole.

I’d be gone all day, and come home with oysters, clams, crabs, shrimp, flounder.

Every day was Thanksgiving at the beach.

This painting is #29 of 50 in the #50Paintings series.

TITLE: LIVE FOR THE BIG DAYS

SIZE: 8″x 10″ paint pen on Canvas Board.

Today I was dreaming of big waves, praying that they come this winter with El Nino.

It is a strange relationship with the ocean waiting for the biggest days. You try to prepare the best you can, but it comes down to the moment of paddling out, your mind says one of two thoughts;

“Yes I have been waiting for this my whole life” or

“There is no way in hell I am going out in that.”

Lets hope this year and many years to come I will meet these big days ready to paddle out. Live for the big days.

This painting study is available for purchase SOLD to Kelly in Texas. She’s praying for good surf!

I hope you enjoy this series. Thanks for reading!

TITLE: BELOVED

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

I had no idea what I was going to paint this morning. With this series, I’m not obsessing over what to paint. When an idea strikes, I go with it.

So I sat on the back patio, thinking about it. Maria peered through the door, asking me what I’m going to paint. Her hair was wet and the sun shone on her face.

Then I thought of the Blue Lagoon, being stranded on an island, and who and what I would want to have there with me. Someone I love, the ocean, my family. These are the things that inspire me the most.
