Let's love and respect the sea!
I'm back, here is the sea.
Have you ever ridden a surfboard?
I tried several times, especially when I lived in Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands.
A completely different feeling from sailing on a sailboat.
You are freer, a freedom free from the comfort of sitting or using only your hands to choose the direction.
With surf, use your feet, your arms, your belly, and the knees, even the soul.
Take slaps in the face, or blows behind your back from the waves, which remind you that you must respect the sea, and they renew and stimulate your body and mind.
You feel closer to the sea and the wind, you get in touch with them, and you have stronger stimuli.
You are a part of them.
A living experience without mediation, you and your feet, under the table and the waves, with their strength and mass in movement.
It is great to be able to ride tons of water, on a board weighing a few kg, you use the skill and technique to overcome the power of nature.
Logically, I'm just a beginner, but I love taking a blast from the sea.
I leave you with a cult film of history, which I never tire of watching.
I think back to poor Patrick Swayze, who died at the age of 57 at the same age as his father, and to his desire to be cremated and the ashes scattered on his ranch.
My will will be the same, but my ashes I want to be scattered in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the island of Ponza, where the strong currents will transport them to the southern Aegean, to Ios seeking a contact with Him, Homer.
A big hug from Point Break

The white of the foam you see is not a watercolor color, but the natural color of the paper.
White is not used with watercolor.
Beware of imitations!
tutto il bianco della schiuma che vedete, non è colore ad acquarello, ma il colore naturale della carta.
Con l'acquarello il bianco non si usa.
Diffidate dalle imitazioni!

Sono tornato, ecco il mare.
Avete mai cavalcato una tavola da surf?
Ho provato diverse volte, soprattutto quando vivevo a Fuerteventura, nelle isole Canarie.
Una sensazione completamente differente dal navigare in barca a vela.
Sei più libero, una libertà svincolata dalla comodità del sedersi o di usare solo le mani per scegliere la direzione.
Con il surf usi i piedi, le braccia, la pancia, e i piegamenti sulle ginocchia, anche l'anima.
Prendi schiaffi in faccia, o botte dietro la schiena dalle onde, che ti ricordano che devi avere rispetto del mare, e ti rinnovano e stimolano il corpo e la mente.
Ti senti più vicino al mare e al vento, entri in contatto con loro, e hai stimoli più forti.
Sei una parte di essi.
Un'esperienza viva e senza mediazioni, tu e i tuoi piedi, sotto la tavola e le onde, con la loro forza e massa in movimento.
E' bellissimo poter cavalcare masse di tonnellate d'acqua, su una tavola di pochi kg di peso, usi l'abilità e la tecnica per vincere la potenza della natura.
Logicamente io sono solo un principiante, ma amo prendere botte dal mare.
Vi lascio con un film cult della storia, che non mi stanco mai di guardare.
Ripenso al povero Patrick Swayze, morto a 57 anni alla stessa età del padre, e alla sua volontà di essere cremato e le ceneri sparse nel suo ranch.
La mia volontà sarà la stessa, ma le mie ceneri voglio che siano sparse nel mar Tirreno, al largo dell'isola di Ponza, dove le forti correnti le trasporteranno fino nell'Egeo meridionale, a Ios cercando un contatto con Lui, Omero.
Un abbraccio dal punto di rottura.
Armando

Greetings @armandosodano, I love your painting and the wild waves he made... I think surf is something complicated that I would not even try to practice it, lots of water for me alone XD

Oh surfing ! I have never done it, I am too timid and I am scared of the sea, though I do like the beach and I like playing around with the water near the beach, running around with my dogs and so on :D
Seems like a wonderful activity, surfing ! Free and happy and one with the ocean! I can imagine the breeze and the water * ___ * I think your painting really captured the joy and wild abandon as a person does that magical turn against the wave with the surfboard ! So fun :D Love the waves, too, the colours are great and I am full with respects at how you made the froth/sea foam ! I am only learning watercolours now and I am really appreciating that it is actually a skill to know how to leave parts of the paper untouched to make the white/ highlights of the picture :D
Really nice picture, @armandosodano ! Full with vivacity ! <3 <3 <3
Dear @veryspider you are always so beautiful and perfect in your comments, you should make art criticism, better than those professors who speak and never say anything consistent and understandable.
What kind of dogs do you have?
Hahaha, you are so sweet <3 I love commenting because I think people should know there is someone out there that really reads through people's posts and looks at their artworks, too... Because it is often I see people just dropping one or two lines and it makes me sad when artists do not get their proper dues since I know creating an artwork and a post takes time! So people should also take time to sit and look and connect with the author :)
I have a mittelspitz ! She is a pretty dog, but she is a bit airheaded and I'm already at work right now so I dont have her pictures on me (it is Monday morning already in Australia) but she looks a bit like this:
Thank you very much for everything you do on this platform, I saw that you are learning the watercolor, thanks for the time you spend.
Beautiful dog! and good work ;-)
❤❤❤
I am learning ! Watercolour is so difficult, but I will do my best :D Thank you for the encouragement~
Anche senza leggere il tuo post, il pensiero mi era andato subito a Point Break - Punto di Rottura, adoravo Patrick Swayze, quello fu uno dei film preferiti dove recitò il grande attore.
Non ho mai provato a fare del surf, non ti nascondo che l'idea mi stuzzicherebbe, anche se ci voglio del tempo e pure un po' di disponibilità economica, ma nella vita non si sa mai....
P.S.: bellissimo e suggestivo il tuo desiderio di spargimento delle ceneri, un fatto che avverrà non prima del 2100......
Grazie Marco mi bastano anche 20 anni vissuti bene. Un abbraccio.
No no, una persona come te, caro Armando, è giusto che viva a lungo e goda sempre di ottima salute
Magari bastassero i buoni auspici degli amici...
Non ho mai avuto la fortuna di salire su una tavola da surf, quindi non conosco le emozioni che si possono percepire nel cavalcare un onda; quello di cui sono certo è che questo acquarello mi riporta alla mente l'estate e la salsedine sulla pelle.
Non vedo l'ora che arrivi!

Incredible painting of a very adventurous surfer!
Yes, I have tried surf but I was no good at it. 😬
