Stroll At Waimea Bay

"Stroll AT Waimea Bay"

12" x 16" Acrylic on canvas

Available

This is a scene painted from photographs taken on a previous trip to Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu.  The water was calm in this painting and the lifeguard boat was placed behind the lifeguard station at that time; they move the boat to a different location now and then.   Below is a photo I took this past Friday similar to this scene in the painting.

The lifeguard boat was in front of the lifeguard station this past Friday and the bottom photo gives you an idea of how high the surf was then.   It was suppose to peak at 18 to 22 feet that day.   The lifeguards had to keep announcing to the public that it was not safe to swim and that there were rip currents.   The waves were just awesome and I must go to some other beaches on the North Shore again real soon.

Yesterday I began two small seascapes so please return again soon .

Surf's Up - Chun's Reef

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.

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 !
