Aloha, thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy my work and let me know what you think or if you would like to order prints or originals. Many of these pieces have been sold, however, I am always painting and will be updating my photos in the next two weeks.
I have lived in Hawaii since 1967 except for most of the eighties when we lived on the Mainland.
I love the islands, the colors are unbelievable, and the light is almost electrifying. The combination just does something to me and I have to paint. I am always learning new things when painting so I never want to stop. I love to paint all kinds of scenes, portraits, and murals. I also have a couple of different painting styles; realism and a painterly style. I use usually realism when doing portraits and a more painterly style when doing scenic painting. Sometimes I use a palette knife and/or my fingers. I especially love painting en plein aire; it's so wonderful to be outside enjoying the weather while painting.
I also love doing sculpture, especially people, although I haven't done anything in quite awhile. My goal is to do some sculptures before this year is out.
A new product that I will be coming out with also this year are Roll-Up Murals. Murals on canvas that can be rolled up and taken with you. A new edgy decorating trend is to have a painting on an unframed canvas and then tacking it on the wall. Therefore, some of my paintings will be on loose canvas in a size of about 16x20 or larger. Coming soon!
Thanks again for dropping by and let me know if you would like to commission a portrait or painting, buy a print, order an original painting or purchase one that is here in the gallery. Don't forget that I also do pets and paintings of homes as well.
Mahalo & Aloha
