Sport of surfing original paintings by premier surf culture artist John Severson-paintings that helped to define and chronicle the sport from 1956.

John Severson's first grade teacher praised his crude attempts at "airplane".
In less than an hour she had convinced him that he was an artist! He never got
over it, and when he first put his love of surfing with his passion for painting in 1956,
he began to paint with a "stoke" that so far has lasted over forty years.

"There are no shortcuts in affairs of the heart" says Severson, who paints with a
spontaneity, but is willing to paint a lot to say something simply. "I love the cars
and the chase; the surf coming up just around the corner. I don't want to
leave anyone high and dry. It's the stoke of knowing you're about to get the
perfect wave." It is also about the colors, design, and culture of surfing.
