Surfboard Painting, Anyone?

Among Bob's other talents is the art of surfboard painting, using acrylic paint pens! Always a great gift idea for the surfers or lovers of surf art you have in your life!

Here are some wonderful examples of the past surfboard paintings that Bob has done, most of which hang on the walls of homes and businesses.


     

The first three boards that Bob finished in 2011.




Close up photos of three boards that Bob painted for
 Steve Morris, a local Virginia Beach shaper.



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      





Here is a board that Bob painted (yes, that is Bob posing under it) on 
display in the lobby of a local movie theater here in VB, the 
Beach Movie Bistro.






This is a surfboard that Bob painted in December 2011. 
He decided to paint it with my his "tribal abstract surf" style
 that he has used for many canvas paintings, this being the result.





Some Jimi Hendrix anyone? Bob had been wanting to paint a Jimi Hendrix portrait on a board  
and got his chance during an annual board swap at a local surfshop, Austin Surfboards. 
He painted this during the event, all while playing Jimi Hendrix music on the jam box.








Slyde HandBoards is a company from California that specializes in creating 
boards specifically for bodysurfing. They sent Bob one and he painted it for them, 
this being the result (top and lower decks) I know 
it it not a surfboard but too cool not to share!




Hope you enjoy seeing what other amazing artwork my husband is capable of! One of his favorite forms of art to do!
