Three Koi And White Waterlilies


6" x 6" Acrylic on canvas
$300


I put the finishing touches on this painting a few minutes ago.    For some reason this painting took longer than the previous Koi painting I posted here; mostly because I was striving for perfection in the large white waterlily.  I simply wanted the color to be beautiful and varied; there is always a lot of various colors in the color white.   This photo does not render all the shades of lavender, pink, blue, and yellow in the waterlily that are in the original painting .

This miniature and the previous one posted "Seven Koi Among Seven Waterlilies" would be excellent companions to purchase and hang side by side in your home or office as they are the same size and have similar colors.  

Thank you for stopping by to visit and please return again soon !

Anticipation - Above Diamondhead Beach


6" x 6" Acrylic on panel
$300



I had walked along this beach at Diamondhead Lighthouse on Oahu not far from Waikiki, which beach is many many feet below this scene.  I decided to take more photos of the flowers high above the beach next to the road , and just as I came near this area a surfer placed his surf board in this spot as if to oblige me.... I quickly took a few reference photos, realizing it would make a perfect painting.   I intend to do a large oil painting from this study.   

This miniature seascape was completed just yesterday.   It needs a good home !   Please contact me if interested  or if you have any questions about this or another painting shown on this website.   I welcome all comments .   Mahalo for stopping by to visit !
