Repro or Original

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

We reproduce masterpieces in oil paints on canvas using the same methods as utilized by the famous artists themselves.

Have a look at the quality of our craftsmanship. Can you tell which is the original work of art and which is the reproduction?

Oil Painting Reproductions Featured in Real Homes

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Before I became a fulltime artist I worked in a very large stationary shop in Harrogate, United Kingdom. I remember having a lot of fun there, but do recall that restocking the newspaper and magazine stands was not the most fun job, especially when a rack of “Real Homes” magazine used to sell out in a a couple of hours. So I’d be up and down to the stock room with piles of Real Homes a day. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Blue Surf Art has been featured in the March 2009 edition.

Blue Surf Art oil painting reproduction of Vincent Vang Gogh’s Stary Night featured in the “Homeowner’s Style” section.

Real Homes magazine is one of the most popular home improvement magazine in the UK and features “Real Homes”, “Real Shopping & Decorating”,  “Real Solutions”, “Real Expert Advice”, “Competions”, and much more.

Barack Obama in your bedroom

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

In the run up to the 2008 elections, we received an unprecedented amount of commission request’s to paint Obama, the now President of the United State.

We are still painting Obama, and we hope that he is a successful president and his popularity remains.

However having said this you would have to be a very big fan or admirer to have him in your bedroom.

We have finally launched our Artist Blog

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Artists at Blue Surf Art are usually busy painting our original works of art, paint to order designs, and oil painting reproductions. However with a lot to talk and blog about we have finally created the Blue Surf Art Blog.

The artists (including me) will use the Blog in our spare time to let our customers, art lovers, and other artist’s learn a bit more about Blue Surf Art and our feelings and thoughts about art, past and present.

In due course we will also be launching a tutorials section to hopefully share some of our knowledge of painting, drawing, and sculpture.

We look forward to blogging!
