Homage to Hokusai, 8x10 Oil on Canvas Board





This is a nod to the great Japanese artist Hokusai, who created The Great Wave of Kanagawa in the 1800s. There have been as many reproductions of The Great Wave as there have been of the Smiley Face. This was the second in my series exhibited at the "Agua" show in Melbourne, Florida.

Little Dude, 6x8 Oil on Canvas Board

Sometimes the painting is named the minute I see the scene, and that was case here. This little guy was so cute, going out with his dad, who would help him catch a wave. Then he surfed in like a pro. He was so little, less than six years old. His dad was so sweet and patient. Maybe if the boy grows up to be a pro, he will buy Dad a house (I am partial to happy endings to my stories).
