Early Rains - Surf Art

Acrylic on panel framed with select pine

24x48

What you see here is not just a seascape—it’s a moment of atmospheric poetry, captured with breathtaking restraint by the artist, Nathan Gibbs. Early Rains speaks in soft, deliberate tones: the distant break of a wave, the ethereal glow of turquoise water, and a sky so vast it nearly swallows the canvas. There’s a reverence in its stillness, a tension between serenity and storm. This piece invites the viewer to pause—to breathe—and to feel the weight of nature’s quiet drama. Whether displayed in a modern home or a curated gallery, it becomes a window, a meditation, a conversation starter. Collectors are drawn not only to Gibbs’ signature blend of realism and abstraction, but also to his rare ability to turn oceanic solitude into something intimate and eternal. If you’re seeking a piece that calms the room while commanding attention, this is your investment.

The Edge is a series that invokes Renaissance Period lighting effects, modern lines, colors that bring a mood and serene feel. The eye doesn’t know whether the wave is huge at a distance or small up close.

Almost all original art is painted on wood panel and acrylic paint. It is sealed with a gloss varnish. Some come framed with a simple redwood or pine frame. Frames are optional and can be removed. Others have a epoxy coating for a gloss finish. All original art purchases come with a lifetime trade in guarantee. Contact me for details.
