Magnificent Ko'olau Mountains from Kaneohe Bay - Oil Seascape by Carol Reynolds

"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."  -  Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Magnificent Ko'olau Mountains"

8" x 16" oil on canvas

$1295

This oil seascape of the Ko'olau Mountains and Mokolii Island, or Chinaman's Hat as it is locally called (in the background in the far right) is a scene of Windward Oahu (the east coast) from Kaneohe Bay.   The Ko'olau mountains run from Oahu's South Shore to the island's North Shore beaches.   Though beautiful and impressive, these mountains are only 3100 feet at the tallest point.   It is breathtaking to see waterfalls cascading down these mountains during a heavy storm.  

I admit, when I first arrived in Hawaii I was not that impressed with the mountains here.  I had been used to seeing the mainland's Rocky Mountains as well as other gorgeous areas like Sedona, Arizona.

But these green mountains rather grew on me and I now appreciate their unique beauty.

Free Seascape Oil Painting

"Got The Blues"

5" x 7" oil on stretched canvas

Some time ago I announced I would be having a Free Give-away; well, here it is.   It is an oil painting of the ocean on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.   The give-away begins today, Thursday, September 19, 2013, and will end on Monday, September 30, 2013.   The winner will be announced here and on my website on Tuesday, October 1, 2013.    More information may be found at my website.  You just need to sign up with your email address here so I can notify you if you win the painting.  It will be a random "out of the hat" drawing and my friends and relatives are not eligible so it will be entirely an impartial process.

The painting will be packaged with care and will be shipped unframed.

Shipping is free in the USA.  Other areas will be charged whatever the current shipping rate is via United States Postal Service. 

Don't forget to sign up !   This will be fun.

Sunflowers At North Padre Island (Seascape)

"Sunflowers At North Padre Island"

16" x 20" oil on canvas

NFS

This was a first for me: to see sunflowers blooming at the beach!  This oil seascape is of North Padre Island, Texas, and is not available for sale.   However, prints of this work are available at Fine Art America here

Other paintings and also my photographs are available as prints and note cards by visiting here     If you click on the "Prints" link at the top of this blog, you will be able to view a small sampling of available prints of my work.

Thank you for visiting and I am painting as fast as I can, which is slow compared to many other artists.   I don't usually finish a painting in one sitting; I paint in stages and let previous layers of paint dry before going over it again with fresh oil color.    Many of you who follow this blog have viewed my photos of works in progress and are familiar with the way I work.  

Back to the easel !
