Surfing Artwork Makes Me Happy
Shannon sent me a link this morning to the web site of artist Andy Davis. For me his artwork is inspiring and affirming but this picture in particular is by far my favorite. Not much to explain except my I like it so much.First off, it reminds me of love. Love for my wife and love of surfing. Secondly it's just relaxing, I mean the fact that she's got a wedgy and he's got his board and neither of them really cares about their bodies but they're simply staring at the waves in peaceful bliss. Then there are the references to The Endless Summer films, best movies in the world (North Shore has a close second)! And last but not least is how artists that also surf just look at the world differently. They know the earth will keep revolving even if they don't make that extra dollar or pitch one more client or any of the other things that drive us professionally. A surfer knows that life is like the tide, it ebbs and flows and sometimes your timing is perfect and sometime it's off but eventually the conditions will be perfect. That's the place in time where swell and tide meet and we are simply witnesses along for the ride.
Andy's work masterfully demonstrates the essence of timing.
