This original fine art oil painting visually captures a family’s day at the beach, each member in their own stage of life reflecting upon the current moment…Living “in the ‘now”.

The mother with her daughter amidst the top of the sun-kissed sand hills glimpsing down towards her husband and son surfing the perfect glassy waves below them.

The young daughter excitedly waves to her brother catching the wave behind their father whose leading the men on their day of surfing together.

This modern art painting by Alders balances entices the viewers eye to take a journey and live and breathe the coastal scene.

“I chose to use such warm and comforting colors to relay a sense of love and happiness that this family shares for each other and their coastal lifestyle.  When you look at this painting, I hope you can relate to how tranquil and serene it is to be ‘one with the ocean’, whether on a surfboard or reflecting upon life itself.” – Jay Alders
