A shadow cast across his thigh and a visible tan line indicates his complete nakedness. We can imagine he’s recently retuned from surfing as he dries off in the sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince his childhood, the artist has continued to return to Noosa Beach in Queensland, Australia, which has been a rich source of inspiration for his art. This important new painting will no doubt be very popular with collectors and admirers of his art at his forthcoming exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ross Watson Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43034854916250,"sku":"OOB-NakedSurferNoosaBeach","price":42000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0051\/6381\/0927\/products\/NakedSurfer_NoosaBeach72dpi.jpg?v=1672892947","url":"https:\/\/gastore.rosswatson.com\/products\/naked-surfer-noosa-beach","provider":"Ross Watson Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
