Wake up and stay present-art by @paulcarterart

Wake up and stay present Art by Paul Carter

I am reminded of the importance of knowing one’s self.

To break the conditioned chains of lies in the subconscious mind, it takes a lot of courage and training and awareness and consistency to do so.

When one is codependent on people, places or things, including drugs, or alcohol then you will never be truly free.

Freedom by choice, free will, courage and the willpower to make healthy choices daily takes consistent training.

We can’t help anyone that does not want to take responsibility for their choices.

If you’re getting migraine, headaches and not being truthful, and lying to yourself, let alone everyone else. If you are drinking a bottle of wine to cope with the conditioning and lies that are holding you back there is no self control at all.

That makes no logical sense if you want to live a healthy lifestyle or wake up feeling tired and drained with a migraine headache.

Guilt and shame comes from conditioning, and most of the time it’s because one is living a lie and hiding from taking responsibility for their own actions and choices. Instead, they are blaming everyone else for their own unhappiness.

You me we can not help those type of people until they wake up And take responsibility for their choices.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the latest blog journal. 

Have a great day remember, no validation required. Keep the creative fire stoked with healthy boundaries and priorities daily.

 

Positive daily reminders art by Paul Carter

Positive daily reminders.

A spontaneous, freehand, sketch, of some reminders we each have today.  To choose the positive self talk and learning the power of self regulating.. to have a healthy routine in the morning and evening before sleep, is key.  To get the mind and body aligned and flexible and focused on all of the good with gratitude..

The first sketch is 3/4 completed, showing the process.  It’s a Meditation and activating the right and left side of the brain.  It is opening up the mind to train it to stay present..

I’m reminded once again the importance of awareness and listening to the body when it’s tight and tense.  To breathe and work on those pressure points to release, renew, and restore the mind body back into harmony.

Keep creating, and remember no validation required.   Keep the fire stoked with positive thoughts, feelings, and emotions daily.

Thanks for checking out the latest.

Broken to a new life art by Paul Carter

Broken to a new life, painted cutting board by Paul Carter 2024.

Where is your perception? Do you see the positives or negatives, either way it’s a mental training to learn how to focus on the positives and be aware of the negative conditioning.

This was given to me by a good friend James after a great breakfast at the beach.

I put some temporary tape on the back to keep it together while I was painting it.

Focusing on the positive thoughts, feelings and emotions it’s a daily training that no one can do for us, but ourselves.

This is the final version of multiple layers of paints and highlighting.  I also added a little bit of glitter to highlight the reflections that you would see in the water and the waves..

When I say broken to me, it means breaking another layer of the conditioned lies that are longer helping me in a positive way.

I used a variety of paints from acrylic paints to paint pens to tulip paints, which is used on clothing.

Thank you each for following the blog journey and following me on YouTube and Instagram both are @paulcarterart.

Stay present, and remember, no validation required.

 

Surfing San Clemente surfboards by Paul Carter 10-2024

Surfing is a lot like life.

With each new day, and each new wave, one has to commit into the gravity of change.

And this day and swell in October this was a spontaneous 10-15 minute window shot by my friend Leo.

I would like to share a little bit of the backstory of these three screenshots from some drone footage.

On this day, the waves were between six and 8 feet, with 4 to 6 waves in each set.

Before these images, I caught my first wave, and the wave closed out and got caught up in the white You water and lost my board.

I was still pretty far outside, and I had a long swim in to get my board.  I managed to get my board in about knee-deep water, I took some deep breaths and turned around and paddled back out through another set of waves..

I made it back out and focused on getting and staying present and got back into proper breathing.

This was the second wave I caught and It was a speed run to say the least..

I am riding a 8 foot eight single fin square tail with a 9 inch fin.

First photo I’m committing to the turn 

This image I’m locked into the turn

Full speed gravity turn.    Thanks for checking out the latest see you in the surf.

Custom san Clemente surfboards & art by Paul Carter

A custom 10 foot with three Redwood stringers.

The center stringer is quarter inch and the side stringers are 1/8.

The blank is custom made by US blanks

This is a cross between a classic with a little performance for gliding and carving with a slight edge, 

The last foot and a half of the board makes it project out of the turn, instead of simply pivoting.

The round pen is much smoother for overall surfing,, and the square tail releases, quicker out of a turn

Started adding the feet on the nose in the mid 90s and it progressed into more art from 2000 on from abstract paintings to tropical surf dreams

Here is a custom freehand original artwork requested by the client using pencil.

Thank you for the positive support and empowering conversations. All shapes and sizes available custom shapes colors, resin tints, etc.

San Clemente surfboards & art by Paul Carter

A custom made surfboard with hand painted original abstract artwork.

Building custom shaped and painted surfboards since 1993 by a Surfer Shaper Artist.

Experience is priceless.

These are the colors the client requested along with some modifications with dimensions, and the outline and rocker.   

Each board is made for the individual and there experience and the type of waves and surfing they like to do.

Here is the custom fin that goes with the board

This board is a 8’8 I made for a little bigger surf and still have the speed for nose riding and turning.

I have ridden this board about 5 times in 1 foot surf to a foot over head and it covers what I am after. 

Thank you each for the trust and positive support and intentions to create your custom surfboards and artwork. 

Any questions you can email me or send a text.
