Divergence Painting

Divergence. Where the ocean meets art. I have taken an old board, cleaned and restored it, sanded, primed it... and then, as with a new canvas, began to paint. The stripe down the middle is a nod to the classic longboard. I had to wait until the end of the painting to expose this crisp element nestled in between the natural and wild lines and shapes of this graffiti work. The stripe has a watery effect to it, even though it is a bright fresh pink. The board is finished with a cold wax, which gives it a soft satin glow, without being shiny. The wax is also a nod to the surf culture, and as well, nicely protects the art. It is wired and ready to hang. If you prefer a french cleat, one can be installed, but it means putting quite a few holes in your wall, so I have opted to wire them instead.
