Several recent landscapes

Been busy painting again. Top is a 12x16 acrylic as I've been working on trying a few different media this year. This is a composite view of sky and beach where I painted beautiful Hapuna Beach and the mountains behind it. The clouds were from another image but work well here.  




The two paintings below are from Honokohau Harbor beach. I'm back to the loose and colorful oils I love best. Did both Friday at the plein air group session. Did the top one and then someone opened an unallowed umbrella (it's a national park) and I managed to paint a zoom in of the people and umbrella before the Ranger showed up to get them to remove the umbrella. Both my usual 8x10's and will be at Blue Sea Artisans Gallery soon. I loved the shadows in the water on the first one and feel I captured them well.
