Surf's Up

8x16
acrylic on canvas

And this is the final painting of the 3 commissioned works I did for my friend.  Doesn't this setting look heavenly right now?  This is a painting of their kids at one of the best anchorages along the mainland Mexico coast.   Often times there was great surfing, along with a wonderful palapa bar.  I have a few very fond memories from this place;  Once while anchored here, we all swam to shore from the boat.  Another time a mother and calf Humpback whale duo came swimming and playing just outside of the anchorage area (what a show it was!).  Our oldest daughter turned 13 while we were here.  For her birthday we rented horses from the nearby resort and enjoyed a leisurely prance along the beach.  Oh, I miss you Mexico!!!
