Everyday is a new adventure San Clemente , Surfboards & art by #paulcterart

Saved from the fire into a custom freehand painting by Paul Carter 

We are not here to simply survive. We are here to grow forward planting the positive seeds and thrive daily. 

This piece of wood was cut from a larger piece that was saved from becoming firewood.

I am reminded the importance of being present and choosing healthy thoughts and patterns and activities that empower one’s self. 

It’s very important with conscious awareness to clear the filters that are no longer empowering you your mind, spirit, body and soul.  Learning in the silence and solitude are the keys to stay grounded and process the unhealthy conditioned thoughts habits. 

I remember when I was in the single digits of life. A time of the wonder of life the adventure of learning and exploring nature.  A time of growing up and learning to tell time.  To ride a bike to write your name to math etc.

Growing up we learn and get inspired by parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles brothers sisters, friends, neighbors, so many levels so many stories, so many experiences, .

Keep the creative fire stoked. No validation required or approval..  remember we reap what we sow so plant positive seeds daily for yourself and others, and watch it grow from the inside out.

Embracing creativity daily art by

This painting was created in 2005 originally.  Below, you will see a video and two images of the process of adding lighter colors and more detail to the original painting.

Here’s a video that will give you a closer look at the colors and the detail of the paint and highlights.

This was the first layer of lightning up the original darker colors.

The painting size is 13.75 x 16 on wood using acrylic paint and paint pens on the updated version..

This is one from the archives that I was inspired to add some more highlights.

The final version of the revived painting from 2005.

Life without any validation @paulcarterart

Lifee without any validation.

Paulcarterart

Imagine being completely present and free from all validation.

It’s October 30, 2025 this is a spontaneous captains log at one of my favorite places. I am sharing this after a break on a new sketch that was started on 10– 14 –2025.

It is not the sketch you see below.  I date all my art pieces from paintings to sketches and surfboard’s. 

Imagine, living a life without any comparing or any approval from others.

There is so much conditioning that we all carry from our ancestors from our parents from our families and friends.

So ask yourself, is it ego or confidence that you live your life from?  Ego is the constant need for approval and validation from others.   

Confidence is the freedom that comes through the awareness of breaking the chains of the many layers of conditioning.  Knowing one self is a daily journey.

The sketch below will resonate for some and for others your perception will be either positive or negative.  

Ask yourself by staying present what feelings am I having?

Its all conditioning or insecurity that brings up the negativity.  Check your perception and you will see.

Thanks for following the journey. 

Have a great day and remember no validation required. Keep the creative fire stoked..

San Clemente surfboards & art by Paul Carter

Embrace the unknown inspirations daily.

Blog journey SanClementeSurfboards by Paul Carter & Art by Surfershaperartist Paul Carter art

Embracing the unknown, that is a true test. A test to break through the negative conditioned subconscious chains of lies.

Staying present is key. Having the awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions is where the breaking of the condition chains begins.

A question for you and a reminder for me.  Do you want to continue to change the negative perceptions.

I am finding that simplicity is key, especially this with endless amounts of noise and information and distractions.

We are each conditioned through our ancestors through our upbringing through the books we read the TV and social media the talking you get my point..

The question is, what do you want to put in your brain the subconscious mind, your spirit, body and soul?

Here is one of the latest custom shaped and painted surfboards.

With the appropriate words, follow the light.

Experience is priceless…. 

No validation required or approval required.

Keep the creative fire stoked daily.

Keep learning by doing daily.

Staying present is key on many levels.

Have the awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions you do and do not want. This is a powerful training and tool to learn daily.

Thank you each for following the journey as a Surfer, Shaper-Artist.  I am focused on planting positive seeds daily.

This is a board that is between class and performance.   You can cruise or carve..  I’ve been using a 9 inch thin with a front screw for more options.
