The 60's/55 Chevy Bel-Air

The large Chevy sedan was ideal to transport a gang of surfers to this beach with the swell breaking beautifully left and right.
The advanced style and design of The 55 Chevy Bel-Air make this classic American car as popular today as it was over half a century ago.

Garry draws on his surfing and working experiences in California to recreate the early days of American surfing. He spent time with Gordon and Smith in San Diego and Hawaii, with Ocean Pacific and it's founder Jim Jenks, and working with the great textile designer Walter Hoffman in California. And, of course, he surfed with many of America's great old time surfers.
In his paintings Garry recalls the surf craft, clothing, cars and icons of that era in minute accurate detail. He creates original paintings from his memory of personal experiences. Each scene is more than a painting, it also tells a story of that era.
Working mostly in gouache, Garry's vibrant style reflects the magic of the ocean and his love of riding the waves.
