Surf Tips

February 18, 2016

Living in Bondi I've become increasingly interested in the beauty of the surfboard, each stick marked and scratched to tell the story of its owner. Below is Surf Tips, painted on canvas and glued on a wooden board.

Make art. Be kind. Nothing better. . Evie’s first big painting, one of many to come!

I work with some extraordinary people. Our finance queen @dayna_foto is also an amazing dancer and photographer. This is a drawing of one of her recent photos featuring the graceful dancer, @rubyhh2. It’s called, Open Arms, Exposed Hearts. . . #drawing #dancer #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #katieshrinerart

Missing this magic.

This was a very special commission and a first for me. Katie asked me to draw in her late father in law with her newborn daughter, she called it ‘back to life drawing’ which I found quite fitting. Thank you for trusting me with this personal and special request. . . #portraits #katieshrinerart #pencilportrait #art

Sometimes I wonder why I have back and neck problems and then I look at this. Sorry physio. . . #hunchbackofnorthadelaide #badposture #paintingprocess #inmystudio #art #oilpainting

Great things are not done by impulse, but a series of small things brought together. Vincent Van Gogh

It’s always easy to draw people who glow from within. Pencil sketch of a special mother and son moment. . . #portraits #pencilportait #commissionedart #commission #art #draweveryday

Beautiful Pennington Beach on Kangaroo Island. Icy cold water for most of the year but always worth a swim. Thank you to everyone who placed a bid on my wildlife artworks and a big thank you to my wonderful colleagues at @destinationthink for making a donation to the Kangaroo Island Mayoral Relief Fund and @kiwildlifepark for my birthday. . . #kangarooisland #penningtonbeach #happyplace #southaustralia #southaustralianbeaches
