Been a while

I've had a health issue that kept me from posting for a while so I thought I'd just post some work finally. I won't label them as they are all West Hawaii beaches. 

  

Summer Work

I've been attending all the paintouts since I'm now the scheduler and in charge of the group. These are all 8x10's of our usual local beaches. 

These are in order, Kaloko Ponds, Kahaluu, Hookena, Old Airport Beach, Keauhou Bay, Pine Trees Beach, and Energy Lab Keiki Pond. Enjoy.

 

Spring Work

 Latest beach paintings for viewing. The rectangular one 2nd down (10x20) was a studio work because I've sold all the scenes from Keleakakua Bay and we don't paint there anymore because parking is so limited. Rest are 8x10's, top to bottom: Hapuna Beach, Honokohau Harbor Beach, Honl's Beach, City of Refuge, Shark fin rock at old airport beach, and Keauhou Bay.  

Busy busy but here is latest work

 Been busy running the art group and painting, reading, bowling league, home projects, framing paintings, gallery sitting, and family time, only have Thursdays and weekend free. Being retired is fun and at times I take on too many projects. LOL. Here are some works since last posting. Looking over two months work, I can say it sure is a variety of subjects although this style is mine now I guess.

January work

 Keeping busy in 2024. Top is an 8x10 of the path off the Waikoloa resort area beach. Below is another 8x10 on a big wave day at Pahoehoe Beach in Kona. Last is one of my favorite places to paint, a10x20 of the morning glow off the ocean. I've tried to catch this before but this is the closest I've come to capturing it.    

Fall plein air work

Catching up on posting. Have been busy with the art group, Blue Sea Artisans Gallery, and visitors. Now a quiet period through the holidays. Most of below are 8x10 with a few exceptions.    

Top is an old wooden hut on the grounds of the Kona Historical Society, a newer painting location for us.   

This image of Kahaluu Beach is a panoramic studio piece at 12x24 done from a photo another artist let me use. Dramatic clouds and foreground.

 

An 8x10 of the resort area at Kukio beach.

A vie of Energy Lab beach on a wavy day. 

Old airport view of another wavy day with a few folks in the water.

Surfers at Pine Trees Beach north of town.

Beach 69 view north toward the rocks and dead trees. Seems more and more tree pieces are residing there every year. The two "dancing trees" against the rocks haven't changed in a while.

Another studio piece at 11x14 of the Hale at Honokohau Beach park.

Strong lighting on the rocks and grass at Kaloko Ponds but I should have stook perpendicular to the sun and not had it behind me to get a better feeling of the light and shadows.

  

Misty day at Magic Sands on a day with huge waves crashing and all the rocks on the beach evident.
