This is a piece I did a while back. I was inspired by an old image from the 70’s. I think that I am drawn more to older images for inspiration because the surfers are graceful, but look a little less in control of the situation. Life has a lot of unknowns so I feel portraying the surfer as more vulnerable is more honest and interesting to me.I love to paint on old recycled wood. I think that the clean lines I paint sometimes complement the wavy grains of the wood. Sometimes in my paintings the wood is really beat up, and my lines end up being a nice contrast to the damaged areas of the surface I am painting on.
