This oil painting visually captures a family's day at the beach, each of them in their own stage of life reflecting upon the current moment. Living 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 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. "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
