As summer nears, going to the beach and surfing is one of the activities looked forward to by many of us. The feeling of surfing the waves under the hot summer sun is one experience that is easy to crave for. With these pieces of
framed surfing art, the artists try to capture the thrill of surfing in an art form.
In Surfer at Huntington Beach by Thea Shrack, the silhouette of a surfer getting ready to ride the waves can be seen. Shrack uses clever lighting to block any recognizable features of the surfer in her
framed surfing art photography but at the same time highlights him. In a completely different artistic style, Steven Valiere’s Bombay Harbor goes impressionistic and shows a dark-skinned surfer riding the waves in a painting consisting of very effective color combination and depiction of motion.
In Buttercup Buick by Scott Westmoreland, the viewer of the piece can feel a sense of thrill and adventure as the surfer in the painting faces a large wave while holding his surf board. Westmoreland’s color combination in this framed surfing art painting is quite remarkable. Art lovers are sure to appreciate the composition of Westmoreland’s painting.
Another piece featuring a good choice of colors and an effective depiction of motion is Ron Croci’s Rail Grab. The attention put by Croci to the details of the water is quite astonishing. He successfully uses a mix of blue, green, and yellow to depict the reflection of light on the water as well as the reflection of the surfboard and the surfer himself.
