Big surfers green and blue Painting

Surfers at my local beach inspired me to paint this large scale work on paper at this location on plein air. I swim daily nearby the site this work was made at and there are often surfers and windsurfers as well as paddleboarders and kayakers in the water until late in the day. I hope to have captured the feeling of the stick like figures in the vastness of the sea bobbing and flowing through the water on their way to instantaneous nirvana. I chose paper stuck together in layers to create a surface that was textured and uneven like the moving bubbles on the surface of the ocean. The style is used because the figures move so quickly in the water I wanted to convey that sense of sudden movement which is so dynamic and antithetical to being captured by slow and laborious studio work. The act of surfing calls out for an approach that is in the spirit of the sport itself,quixotic and decisive.
