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?

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.

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.

Color is essential to all of my work. I tend to use vivid colorful harmonies in most of my paintings. I will admit that my color choices do not always please the retina, but I am continually striving to express myself with the use of color. I am always trying to create works were the color speaks. The first response from people when viewing my work is nearly always a comment about the color.

Abstract Nude Woman

A new painting that I finished last week.....The last one for 2008. An abstract nude woman that has a very Art Deco feel. The background is full of heavy textured paint.
