The Story:

Part of my surf morning series. The view is the beautiful Trigg beach.

Last year my brother Toby and I would drive to Trigg beach at the crack of dawn. He would go surfing and I would sit and paint the morning sky.

On occasions we brought a flask of coffee. The hot beverage felt like treasure in our cold hands and we smiled with glee.

The mornings usually began dark and I looked directly West. I had already sat in the same spot on other days, but it was a whole new scene.

The light was pink on the horizon, hiding behind a strip of lilac clouds. The water had a sandy green near the shore, probably where the sand was being churned in the wave.

I saw there were hints of purple in the bushes and watched surfers walk across the beach leaving footprints behind them. As the sun rises in the East, I see the new morning light hit the white water and I am in awe.

I play Hawaiian music on my speaker and Wesley sits down to have a yarn. He talks about his electric guitar and how much he loves the Hawaiian sound.

I have an old idea that painting is very much an introverted exercise, and I laugh at myself because every time I come to the beach to paint there are always folks wanting to talk and connect.
