Then I remembered that Fairfield Porter, of all people, did some creditable surf paintings with good volumetric waves and, as one would expect from Porter, some unusual colors. Thinking about Porter's waves I realized how much their success depended on the kinds of things Stape is talking about.<br /><br />It is alway interesting when you see an intersection of someone like Stape, who comes out of the Rockport School tradition with some modernist oriented realist like Fairfield Porter. Sometimes the different branches of contemporary painting speak to each other in intriguing ways.<br /><br />Porter, in my opinion can sometimes be very good. I do wish he'd worked on his drawing more, but then he never asked for my advice when back when he was alive.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-39388767267450149522010-03-29T09:38:58.837-04:002010-03-29T09:38:58.837-04:00Thanks Stape.

And your post is excellent as always.<br /><br />I did the Laguna Beach plein air show for a couple of years and it was my first intro to painting surf. I was intimidated by it and the company I was in. But, my fondest memory is painting on the beach while some of my more experienced colleagues set up out on the rocks. The wind was blowing my way and I could hear them talking about who the heck I was and how did I get into the show. About a half an hour later they were all scrambling to get off the rocks as the surf started rearranging their equipment as I watched (and painted ) from the shore.Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-60553669089237842532010-03-29T06:59:06.067-04:002010-03-29T06:59:06.067-04:00It must have been beautiful yesterday at Halibut P...It must have been beautiful yesterday at Halibut Point, and it must have been cold. Homer's seascapes in particular seem to me to really emphasize the profiles of two or three waves.
