West Coast Surf Art

A new series of paintings fresh from California.

My last series of surf paintings were based on photo's I took along the east coast of Virginia.  I'm now working on a series prompted by surf images sent to my husband from the west coast of California. 

My sister and her family live in California where my brother-in-law doesn't have to wait days, weeks or even months for ride-able surf.  This particular painting was inspired by a picture taken at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego.

A close up view of the painting shows layers of color and texture created with acrylic paint on cold press paper.

 The finished 5 x 5.5 inch acrylic painting on acid free cold press paper is backed with foam core board for stability.  It can be left unframed and propped up on a shelf, desk or small easel.  Or matted and framed in a 6 x 9 inch frame.  The painting is available here

The painting has also been made into an 8 x 10 inch giclee print which is available here  

Thank you Joey for the image.  I look forward to receiving and painting more!  :)

New Surf Paintings

Inspired by photo's taken during the recent Hurricane swell.

 Painted with acrylics onto 4x5 inch acid free, cold press paper, and made to look like a series of Polaroid pictures.

 Surf Check Polaroid Painting

The surf along the east coast of Virginia is usually not much to talk about, therefore whenever we get a hurricane swell the air hums with excitement. With the recent surge of hurricanes I was able to capture a few good images of local surfers. These images inspired my new collection of Polaroid surf paintings. This of which is the first I've finished and have listed in my shop. Be sure to check back as more paintings will be coming - and hopefully, more good surf!
Have a great weekend.
