This particular painting started with a color I can’t shake: that bright, electric aqua that the sun throws back from the ocean—it floods me with emotion every time I see it. At the heart of this piece is a love story between the surfer and the water, the self and the collective consciousness: two forces meeting where the sky and the sea blur into one. As my little surfer dude sits in that moment of connection, the ocean speaks, letting it carry him home as if they were never meant to be apart.
