Press Release Body = A new ocean wave art image has been released by landscape
artist, Ashton Howard.

"I have called the image "A View into my World" because it was inspired by the
magical evening light in California. Just another countless wave on a warm
beautiful evening.loving life, " states Howard.

The giclee image is available as a signed and numbered edition of 295 Artist Proof\'s
30 (hand-highlighted by artist) measuring 29x40 and 17x24 and available through
upscale galleries nationwide including Hawaii, and also in Japan.
"As a surfer I know what it is like to ride a wave and experience the feeling of
being in a tunnel of water. Through my art I want to capture and project the feeling
in that split second before the wave breaks."
Through the use of oils and heavily bodied acrylics, Ashton Howard builds layers of
dimension and texture on canvas.
Many of his other works are extremely unique in that, he has subtly hand pressed sea
shells and corals, collected from his travels, into the texture to create a very
special and organic-like connection with the ocean.
Inspired by far-away places, he has a strong passion for travel and enjoys searching
for new tropical settings. Reef point breaks, tropical landscapes and exotic islands
are many of his subjects.
His landscapes have a calming effect on most people. He paints \"moods\", late
evening, early morning, impressions of silence and times of quiet reflection, a
feeling of solitude you experience when it is just you and the ocean.
"My surf art is like looking at a single frame from a surfing movie. But rather
that just watching the movie, I want the viewer to be able to freeze that moment
and to sit back and really imagine how it looks like to be inside of a wave,"
concludes Howard.
