The 7th Day of christmas

This is a 7x9 little barrel painting. Have you ever got this view? I grew up surfing the east coast and have not had the privilege to experience this view first hand. Even though the east coast does offer great waves with barrels, I am not at that level of surfing yet. It is something I aspire too. I have been surfing Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica for about 5 weeks now.  Low tide is where this wave barrels and it is a very heavy wave and very shallow.  Maybe even the heaviest wave in Costa Rica.  It breaks over sand though so I know it is only a matter of time before I get the courage and experience to drop in and pull into one of her heavy barrels. I will definitely blog about it and paint my first time.  This little picture shows my vision of what I think it looks like from the inside. Maybe by the end of this series I can say I got mine! Go to the 12 Days of Christmas to see this painting :)
