28 of 50 Paintings in 50 days by Drew Brophy SHARK SIGHTING Nov 22 2015FOR 50 DAYS, I’M CREATING 50 PAINT STUDIES that reflect 50 things that fascinate me.

This painting is #28 of 50 in the #50Paintings series.

TITLE:  SHARK SIGHTING

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

This morning I had time for a quick surf before my studio open house.  I got to the beach and was surprised to see that no one was out surfing.  It was hot and sunny and I was stoked!

There was a shark sighting sign posted, but I didn’t think it was big deal, they’ve been posted all summer.  I had a great time surfing, all by myself, for awhile. Then one of the lifeguards, a friend of mine, hollered from the pier to get out of the water.

They’ve been kicking people out of the water.  He said the shark’s been swimming from T-street to the pier all morning.

I thought it was ridiculous that they clear the beach for a shark sighting; they live in the ocean, and I see them all the time.  It’s no big deal.

That’s where today’s inspiration came from!

This painting study is available for purchase SOLD to Chris in Washington state.

One of my goals with this series is to make original art affordable for those who want it.   If interested in adding tomorrow’s to your collection, please email info@drewbrophy.com or text or call 949-678-8133 asap!

I hope you enjoy this series.  Thanks for reading!

This painting is #13 of 50 in the #50Paintings series.

TITLE:  MAROONED

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

I am fascinated with idea of being marooned on an island.

I would get busy building, fishing and surviving.

I would shape a surfboard or paddle board for sure.

The only question would be whether or not I would want to be saved.

This painting study is available for purchase SOLD to Jonny Moore, a San Clemente local.  Glad I’ll get to meet him in person when he comes to pick it up at my studio.  This one was meaningful for Jonny, as the lucky number #13 is reminiscent of his late, great beloved brother.

Full Moon Tubes by Drew BrophyFOR 50 DAYS, I’M CREATING 50 PAINT STUDIES that reflect 50 things that fascinate me.   I’m painting whatever comes to me each morning.

This painting is #4 of 50 in the #50Paintings series:

Titled FULL MOON TUBES– 11″x 14″ paint pen on canvas board.

Have you ever surfed during a full moon?  It is amazing, everything turns to shades of blue grey.

I use to live ocean front at Pipeline and I surfed during a full moon many times, It is so cool how your eyes adjust, then your hearing and feelings are heightened.  Surfing tubes under the moonlight is awesome.

MakingFriends-Alien and dolphins by Drew brophy Oct 2015

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

I’m painting whatever comes to me each morning when I begin the new painting for the day.  I’m just having fun going with it.  

You might love ’em, you might hate ’em, but either way, I hope they invoke a feeling for you.

This painting is #1 of 50 in this #50Paintings series, titled MAKING FRIENDS – 9″x 12″ paint pen on canvas board.

This series is about 50 things that fascinate me; it’s an exercise of letting ideas flow free in quick paint studies.

I have always have been fascinated with aliens.

I started this painting this morning at my 2nd office, the San Clemente Pier.

As I watched the waves I imagined all the things that could hide in the ocean depths, I think of Aliens not in space but right here living in the ocean.

Maybe they will one day just walk out and say hi. Maybe they would be friendly.  Maybe dolphins are the aliens.

Maybe we are.

Drew Brophy painting at San Clemente Pier Oct 2015This painting study is available for purchase SOLD! To Christopher Goodwin of NY.

Welcome to my Studio!

WELCOME TO MY STUDIO!

I’m inviting you to an Open House and Art Exhibit at my Studio this weekend.

I’m excited to EXHIBIT my mural titled A LIFE WELL LIVED.  It’s painted on 18′ of Canvas.  You can see pictures, but they don’t come close to doing it justice.  You have to see it in person.

It’s the first painting I’ve done that I can proudly call a masterpiece.  A lot of work went into it.  It incorporates Drew Brophy Sacred Geometry painting at Conscious Life Expo 2015 Artelements from Sacred Geometry and Unified Field Theory info that I’ve been studying and am passionate about.  The meaning goes deep, you can read about it here.

The mural is going to it’s new owner, Keen Footwear, on Monday.  Come see it before it goes!  (And, I’m giving FREE posters of the mural to everyone who attends.)

DATE/TIME:  Saturday and Sunday April 25 and 25, 2015  From 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

LOCATION:  208 Calle de Los Molinos Suite D, San Clemente, CA 92672  Phone 949-678-8133

What to expect at my Studio Open House:

1 – On Exhibit for the last time:  18′ A LIFE WELL LIVED Mural – it has to be seen in person to get the impact.

*A FREE poster of the mural will being given to each person who attends!

2 – For sale for the first time:  Illustration Art Pieces that have been in storage going back to my LOST Surfboard days.  This is your chance to get a piece of history!

3 – This weekend only – get special discounts on my original art.  (We are making room for some very big projects.  Whatever doesn’t sell is going to a gallery.  This is your chance to get originals at a deeply discounted price.)

4 – NEW Sacred Geometry and Surf Art paintings – As I’ve been studying Unified Field Theory and physics, my art has been changing to reflect what I’m learning.  I’ll have some of the new art on display, and available to buy.

5 – Great conversation and a “tour” of my studio.  I’ll be glad to get to know you.

While you’re here, ask me about about Sacred Geometry Art and how drawing it helps one to connect to the Universe and transform their minds.  I’ll be stoked to share some of the new information I’ve been soaking up in my studies at the Resonance Academy.

Joshua Paskowitz and his painting

Artist Joshua Paskowitz

ALSO: Visit my good friend and studio neighbor, Joshua Paskowitz.  He will be displaying his art at his studio next door.  He’s a great artist, surfer, and fascinating person to meet.

Please know that I appreciate your business – it’s our fans and friends that help keep us in business.  My family and I appreciate it.
