surfboard fin drawing by Paul Carter

Painting a surfboard fin

I was recently commissioned by a long time friend C.M, we grew up surfing one of the magical surf breaks of Trestles.  

 He ask for a design around the infamous break called church,  hence the name church which was a stones throw away from the water back in a previous time capsule of Camp Pendleton.

This a perspective either from the bridge or the hill top.  There is a large palm tree on the north side of the bridge that was there in the early 1980s, along with many more just south.

I like to create a sketch of an idea before painting and this is the actual size of the fin and drawing which is a 9.5 inch fin.

When I start the painting I will adjust certain parts of the original drawing which is part of being totally present in the creative process.

Focused through the clouds & art by Paul Carter

 I’m reminded on this cool morning on April 14, 2018 the importance  at staying focus through the clouds.

I am looking out the back windows of this van with the waves around 1 to 2 maybe 3 foot peaky conditions and people sitting waiting for their waves contemplating life and whatever’s going on in their mind.

Focused through the clouds
By Paul Carter

 I think to myself the importance of keeping life simple and not go down the rabbit hole and the rat race of buying stuff and all of the conditioning from growing up however that was for you.

We are living in a unique time of a age where every individual who has a smart phone now has the the option for their own media center and of course the library of endless information and knowledge which is amazing to say the least..https://instagram.com/p/BhT-xCanywJ/

 I feel that if more people would live in a van for six months to a year or two or three years or a tiny home they would get a healthier clearer perspective and respect for themselves and living a minimalist life with the simple necessities to thrive and enjoy a healthy quality lifestyle not simply survive.

Surf dream drawing
By Paul Carter 

Life is a mental, nutritional, spiritual and physical daily choice and journey to choose the healthy rituals and the healthy nutrition to keep the body and the mind working correctly to enjoy a healthy quality lifestyle.

I spent 24 years hand shaping thousands of surfboards and in the last 2 to 3 years and I realized my true passion and purpose, which is to help more people find thier happiness but more importantly to find true health through optimum daily nutrition to enjoy and create the healthy life we each want to enjoy,

We only know what we know until we learn more than we know- Paul Carter

The freedom comes with the awareness and waking up and wanting to think and feel better and to have a better life by making positive healthier choices to clear the mind and body for a healthier lifestyle today not tomorrow

In this video you will see some of the amazing yuka trees and the many plants and some insects on the journey.

The peace and quiet of the desert is an emotional journey from the inside out, from the high paced activities living in Southern California or anywhere for that matter,  it's all based on one's choices depending on the conditioning and what we think are priorities.

             
A painting a started to cover one of the water tanks needed to live in the desert to be self sufficient and self contained in this diverse environment.
