Firecracker

"Firecracker" 20 x 24 acrylic on canvas 2009

How about an energetic hot red head with a personality that seems to be only reserved for girls that have red hair. Lots of texture in this one.

Sandy Beach - Oahu, Hawaii

Sandy Beach 20 x 28 inches acrylic on canvas 2009

This is a new painting of one of my favorite beaches on Oahu. This beach is literally called "Sandy Beach". It is known for having some of the roughest shore breaking waves. The views of black lava rock cliffs and powerful waves are absolutely breath taking.

Three sisters

All over the Hawaiian Islands, there are parks that are surrounded by masonry rock walls. These stone fences are made of the volcanic rock found locally. The large stones at the base of these palm trees are volcanic and are scattered through out the Hawaiian landscape. I was struck by the majesty of these three palms and began to wonder about their origin. Some time long ago, these three beauties were little seedlings amongst the rocks. Were they purposely placed here by human ancestors? Or did the hand of God place them in such a way?

Oahu palms

Oahu palms 24 x 33 inches acrylic on canvas

Another new painting from Hawaii. I really like the clouds and sky in this painting. I tend look up a lot when I am walking around the island. The tall palms and puffy clouds against the deep blue skies, are enchanting.

Kahana Bay

Kahana Bay acrylic on canvas 16 x 24 inches

My latest painting is of a scene at Kahana Bay on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. There is a road that follows the coastline just behind the trees on the right. The drive from Diamond Head to here is absolutely stunning.

Waikiki, Oahu Hawaii

My latest painting is of Waikiki beach in Honolulu Hawaii.

Hawaiian sunset

Sunset on Waikiki Beach.....It just doesn't get any better than this :)

Galveston sea gulls

This picture was taken on the beach in Galveston Texas on the 19th of January. It was not all that warm, I would guess in the mid 60s, but still there were some folks laying out on the sand in bikinis. I guess to people from the north this was warm weather. To us, it was too cool to be in swimsuits!
