Whilst their shorts are different colours, matching underwear is revealed underneath. Perhaps a subtle suggestion of a close companionship, though once more the artist provides a curious ambiguity, often a feature of his art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA favourite place of Watson's to be as a young boy was the beach, and the artist has regularly returned since childhood to Noosa Beach in Queensland, Australia, which has inspired this exciting series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eEdition Print Options\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active\" style=\"display: block;\" id=\"ui-accordion-1-panel-2\" aria-labelledby=\"ui-accordion-1-header-2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rosswatson.com\/products\/two-surfers-1\" title=\"Two Surfers Limited Edition Canvas by Ross Watson\"\u003eVIEW Limited Edition Canvas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rosswatson.com\/products\/two-surfers-2\" title=\"Two Surfers Limited Edition Print by Ross Watson\"\u003eVIEW Limited Edition Print\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ross Watson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18588431089775,"sku":"OOB-TwoSurfers","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0051\/6381\/0927\/products\/two-surfers.jpg?v=1542944147","url":"https:\/\/sstore.rosswatson.com\/products\/two-surfers","provider":"Ross Watson Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
