Latest Work

 Have been busy with the art group lately but still out painting with them most Fridays. Taking over from Richard after his sudden passing this spring has taken some time but scheduling is now routine and at the paint outs I'm now the one to herd everyone together for our critique at the end of the session, then photo the work, and edit and post the results on Facebook. 

Here are some of my latest efforts. I've been getting very colorful lately, maybe the summer sun? Although we have had cloudy mornings too that needed the colors faked a little to prevent dull scenes. 

Top is Keahou Bay, my favorite swimming spot. some small sailboats were there for lessons. 

Pahoehoe Beach is always one of our favorite scenes and here I caught the parasailer in the distance.

This is a studio work of 3 panels, total 12x27, of Kahaluu beach. I had a frame this size so needed a work to fill it. 

Another view of Kahaluu beach from the pavilion facing north.  

We only get to Hapuna Beach once in a while as it's 35 miles north of Kona so our farthest location. The water pipes are out at the beach but that doesn't seem to prevent tourists from flocking there with their beach umbrellas. 

We painted for the first time at the Kona Historical Society. I tried to capture the oldest rock wall with the gate intact, and then the next older building behind that.
