Surf's Up - Chun's Reef

"Surf's Up - Chun's Reef "

12" x 16" Acrylic on gallery-wrap canvas

Available

This is a painting I completed some time ago, but thought I would post it again because yesterday I took off to go on a photo shoot of the North Shore as the surf was suppose to be 18 to 22 feet high.  I visited 3 different beaches, including Chun's Reef.    Below are some photographs taken yesterday at Chun's Reef.

The surf was just spectacular yesterday!  I really came alive and was full of enthusiastic joy at the wonderful sight.   Below is a shot taken from Chun's Reef looking towards Waimea Bay.

On my photography blog I posted some photos taken at Waimea Bay; you can view them by going here

Now it is back to the easel again for a few days; however, I want to make another trip to the North Shore of Oahu very soon when the surf is up .   In the winter the North Shore has the highest surf on the island, and people come from all over the world to witness it and the championship surf contests held there.   

Please return again soon for new paintings.

Leeward Oahu Seascapes - Photos

The above reference photos are some I took on the Leeward coast of Oahu not too long ago.   I hope to paint them before too long.    I have so many references photos that I realize I will never be able to paint from them all.    Speaking of painting, there has been some personal business lately that has interfered with my painting time.   Hopefully I will be back at the easel very soon.    Below are some photos taken at Barbers Point on the Leeward coast of Oahu.

The lighthouse will definitely be painted very soon !   Well, Lord willing that is .    We just never know what tomorrow holds, so it is best to take it one day at a time.  Have goals and plans, yes, but realize time and circumstances may make some things impossible. .... or possible !

Let me know which reference photo is your favorite.   Thank you for visiting and please return soon !
