This painting, titled\u00a0SUNSET KELP<\/strong> was painted on a 7\u20190\u201d single fin swallow tail shaped by Ron House, with red tinted pigment.<\/p>\n

SUNSET KELP surfboard art was inspired by the reefs off of San Clemente that I paddled two days before designing this painting. The water was ultra clear, and there were more garibaldi fish than I\u2019ve ever seen before.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a beautiful sunset that afternoon.\u00a0 The only thing missing was giant waves. So I used my imagination and painted what I wished the waves looked like.<\/p>\n

My best work comes from this type of encounter.\u00a0 The painting flows easily when I\u2019m inspired by real events<\/strong>.\u00a0 I don\u2019t mock them up with computers.\u00a0 I don\u2019t try to impress anyone with fancy embellishments.<\/p>\n

I just love to surf and surfboards have been my canvas since the beginning.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This surfboard was a commissioned piece for a video game designer named Colm. \u00a0Colm\u00a0loves surfing and fish.\u00a0 He and his wife, Yumee, met me about ten years ago when I did a live painting at a surf shop in Santa Cruz.\u00a0 I used to tour surf shops all over the world and leave a little piece of my art with the community.\u00a0 I met Colm and Yumee way back then and gave them a poster, and that day they decided that they wanted to own one of my original boards one day.<\/p>\n

Maria and I hand delivered the painting to Yumee. \u00a0She surprised Colm with it for his birthday. \u00a0He was so stoked, he sent us a picture of him with it! \u00a0\"Colm<\/p>\n

Life is good, \u00a0Drew<\/p>\n
