The first drawing was inspired watching the OI surf contest in Brazil on the WSL app it was an exciting surf contest for the men and the women with some history making Surfing.

I enjoy the beauty of the clean look of black ink drawing it gives a classic old style look and feel.
Trying out different color options and I like the posca paint pens for simplicity of adding color especially on the road being mobile.
When I use paint I like acrylics paints for the drying time and the variety of colors is great.

Hello thank you for your time and checking out the latest surfboard and artworks with this spontaneous Live feed.
This is a time capsule of my story as a surfer/shaper/artist with some painting tips video and healthy tips that I have learned on this journey.
It is so important to stay focused on taking care of oneself daily, what I have learned that works for me is to feed the mind and body first thing in the morning with healthy positive foods for the mind and the body before I get into the my life and priorities
Some of what feeding the mind look like for me is reading the amazing stories in the bible and lately I have been listening to Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton ministries on youtube and study along with the videos.
The next thing I like to do is some strengthening and stretching which consists of some push ups, sit ups, and legs exercises each varying depending on the day.
My outdoor activities range from surfing, riding, jogging, hiking to name a few of the powerful grounding exercise to clear the mind and stay stoked and fit from the inside out.
The third important key is feeding the body with optimum micro and macro nutrition for maintaining a daily recovery and repair foundation to enjoy living a healthy quality lifestyle.
I know that I am responsible for my health, happiness and wealth by my daily choices and I have been on the dark side searching with drugs and alcohol and people, places and things that have led to truly trusting the one true source and creator of all things good which is GOD.
Now I know your conditioning is going to many places in your mind and I also know that for me to share this is a step of faith with positive intentions to inspire and help you not waste this valuable life and stop waiting for something to happen, all the while knowing now more than ever it is up to me to do the work and the activity to keep growing forward today and every day.
This is one of two hand painted surfboard fins called 24 hour dream.
A two sided fin showing the moon and the sun with a surfers perspective from my travels around the planet and growing up in Southern California.
I am reminded daily of the power of the mind and nutrition and staying focused on those dreams and goals and doing the work daily is the only way things with change.

We hold the keys to life, painting overview by Paul Carter
I have been surfing since I was four years old. I am always learning from the ocean and the power of nature is how I stay balanced from the inside out.
My inspiration from nature has been the majority of the paintings from the past into the future.
Life is mental spiritual then physical and the keys represent the reminders of the daily choices we all have to make and we each hold the keys to unlock the doors the health, happiness and yes wealth which comes from doing what one truly enjoys doing.
