As a lifelong surfer who grew up in Manhattan Beach, California I have always enjoyed the ocean.  Now that I have been in the midwest for the past 40 years, I seem to spend more time looking at pictures of the ocean rather than swimming in it.  Still, the connection is a strong one.  The water images in these squares came from the amazing photography found in Surfer Magazine.  If you are interested, I have some larger pieces from the WATER series available in my studio.
