Impressionism is the art of hunting with a paintbrush and colours.<\/h2>\n

It is finding the perfect moment and capturing it on canvas. More time is spent searching for the moment than painting. I love Noosa. It is the most beautiful place on earth. I hope to share its beauty through my paintings.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is my first gallery showing in 29 years. Through my university days in San Diego, California, I sold paintings to help cover living expenses, but put down the brushes and focused on surfboards for nearly three decades. Now, as a Noosa councillor, seeing and immersing myself in Noosa’s beauty complements my new job.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/m1jnZzQaBzk”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5891″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” fullwidth=”yes” top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ background_color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1619582942266{margin-bottom: -15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1620090654326{padding-top: 35px !important;}”]WEBSITE:www.tomwegenersurfboards.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
