“Big Wednesday”, oil on canvas, two panels, @ 48″ x 120″, 1993.
This painting shows a cyclone swell at Manly in 1993. The swell came up from dead flat at dawn to 12-15′ by lunchtime. The only surfable spots on the northern beaches were Fairy Bower, the Queenscliff bommie, North Narra, North Av and South Palmy. This was before tow-surfing was invented.
The best part of this painting is the loving depiction of my trusty FZ750 at bottom left 😉

That picture is truly beautiful! 😀
Thank you Velmont!
Love that painting mate. Is there a larger image anywhere we can get a better look at?
Done any giclee or poster prints of that image? Love it!
Hi Murray,
Thanx for your comments. No larger images available atm, the ones I have are a little blurry 🙁
I got your email and I will let you know if we get some prints organised. The painting is 2000km away from me right now…
Thanks again
Norv
Just great Norval!! I really like that one, what about the stormy day at Kirra painting?? I hope it finished well, keep like that!!
Hugs from the iberian land!
Hi Norval,
Amazing job!
Have you done any printing of this image? I would be very interested in getting one, as well as one of the Storms over the Superbank.
Cheers
