Santa's surf break

My wife wanted something to match our other christmas picture and even though i had already begun another beach picture. I threw in santa an a palm tree and made it a christmas scene. I wanted to do something w the moon, but it ended up looking like a sun. The blue thing on the moon does not look like a crater! Haha

Surf sunset

Well, this started off as me trying to make a surf picture with fall colors to match all the house decorations.. It ended up turning into what i call the primary color sunset. Best shack ive drawn and the palm trees came out great. Wave shading was tough because of the colors i chose. Decided at the last minute to throw a guy in the tube.. Just a silhouette

I used posca pens but the new trick i tried was using "gesso" to base the canvas before i began painting. It let the paint stay wet longer for better blending and i will never again paint a canvas without it. I had to order some thick pens to paint this huge canvas(2ft) but it was really fun and i hope to try to get more detail in my next big piece and see what happens!
