I have painted this area once before in watercolors from a slightly different angle/spot.   I have several reference photos of there and intend to paint this beach again in the future.   There is a pier between the two white buildings in the far background.

Baby Makapu'u Beach is located on the windward or eastern shores of Oahu, Hawaii, near Sea Life Park .

It is usually not very crowded, and locals fish out by the rocks near this spot.  It is a great place for children and for tide pooling.

Morning At Lanikai Beach

"Morning At Lanikai Beach"

12" x 24" Oil on canvas

Lanikai Beach is located in a suburb of Kailua, on the windward coast of Oahu.   The waters are a beautiful turquoise and this beach has been the winner of many "Best Beaches" awards.   In Hawaiian, Lanikai  means "heavenly sea" and it truly is a bit of paradise on earth.   The sand is a bit more white than this painting indicates.   The two islands offshore are the Mokuluas, which means in Hawaiian "the two islands".   They are state protected bird sanctuaries, although the island on the left (Moku Nui) is allowed visitors in certain areas.   You can reach it by kayak or boat or outrigger canoe.   The outrigger canoes in this painting are pretty much the way they looked in my reference photograph.

I hope to visit this beach again very soon.    

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Lanikai Beach - Mokulua Islands (work in progress)

"Lanikai Beach And Mokulua Islands"

Work In Progress

12" x 24" oil on canvas

Lanikai Beach on Oahu in Hawaii is a gorgeous beach near Kailua Beach Park....they rather just blend into each other.  This painting is off to a good start and hopefully will continue to flow well.   I will add more figures by the outrigger canoes and tone down that orange canoe some.   There is much detail that needs to be added.   I had a blast with the sky !

Sunset At Ko'Olina (Oahu)

"Sunset At Ko'Olina"

5" x 7" oil on canvas on panel

$250

I seem to be drawn to paint  more sunset seascapes lately. This is another study for a future larger painting.   Ko'Olina is a Marriott Resort Hotel on the leeward side of Oahu in Kapolei.   It is a pleasure to visit there and take photographs for future marine paintings.
