This was the cover painting of a book called "Giving Love A Memory" which featured over 20 of my paintings. I didn't write the story which was very family oriented with pages for reader entries, etc. The painting conveys the joy of doing something as simple as introducing a youngster to ocean surf. Spending time at the ocean ranks among my favorite things to do.

Tom you are an amazing talent. I remember seeing this particular one in an artists magazine, sorry I can't recall which maybe The Artist or American Artist? I was blown away by your technique and style. Such accuracy with color and movement. Absolutely stunning work...your entire portfolio is humbling! Somewhere I still have the magazine I am going to try to hunt it down. Lovely too see your work here.Laura Smith 22 Mar 2007
