  4. Love it, Edward! The color of the boards, the shadows, and the light on their wet suits are all so brilliantly done. Great title too.

  6. Beautiful, Edward! In addition to the amazing color, I love the different angles of the boards, one pointing up and the other leading our eye into the surf; well done!!

  7. Ed, great painting to complete Dana's book. Another year has passed...shudder, but it's nice to know our little group produced some cool art in the spirit of friendship.

  9. Hmmm, the black hole stole my comment again... so I will repeat, that I love the way the board and their shadows make an angular circle that has a nice rhythm for the eye. The whole piece has a freshness that is... well,...refreshing! Nice handling of where the light hits the figures. Enjoyed all your work, Edward!
