Awesome surfing picture: I started to paint a barrel riding image and the wave kept getting bigger and bigger as the paint took over and I started to think about Rochelle Ballard surfing moster tubes. Painting this image was very meaty for me. The experience is probably as close as I will ever come to surfing monster tubes. I would love to be invited to do portraits of awesome women surfing. It is a way for me to experience things that I am getting a little too old to try for myself. It doesn't matter if the woman has a big name, it's about spirit.

OK, I admit it. This painting was inspired by Rochelle Ballard. I don't know her personally, but, c'mon, who else would it be? Have you seen my portrait of Sara Gerhardt?  Here's a portrait of me. I want to do more awesome pictures of you gals, but hesitate to steal your soul without prior permission. Give me a hollar if you'd like to be immortalized.  Hello-oh....
