Surf Days $55.00
Mixed Media on Wood
House Paint and Charcoal
Surf Days is a revisited artwork like Contemplation VI is. When I first started to work on artworks that I thought would be "sell-able" I wanted to create that one figurative image that makes you feel like you are at the beach. Something that everyone could relate to with out it being too over the top. No holding hands..but still a closeness that shows comfort. Familiarity. Like your paddling out with your best friend. Respect.
It's what I love most about this piece. That moment where to two charcoal lines come close to connecting. As an artist...Charcoal isn't always on the same line as you...the charcoal that I prefer is so thin that it snaps about every 3rd line I make. I try to flow my lines into one movement like Matisse did. I love the idea of expressing emotion or the idea of something with one line. It's amazing when it works.
Its like music.
Which brings me to the closer.

Charlie Don't Surf
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star
Everybody wants to rule the world
must be something we get from birth
one truth is we never learn
satellites will make space burn
We been told to keep the strangers out
we don't like 'em starting to hang about
we don't like 'em over town
across the world we're gonna blow 'em down
The reign of the superpowers must be over
so many armies can't free the earth
soon the rock will roll over
Africa is choking on their coca-colas
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star
There's a one-way street in a one horse town
a lot of one way people starting to brag around
you can laugh, put 'em down
these one way people gonna mow us down
Gung ho gung ho
