Joyous Celebration (African Tulip Tree)


"Joyous Celebration"
20" x 24" Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas

The beautiful and intense color of the African Tulip Tree blossoms is truly a joy to behold.   They were introduced to Hawaii as ornamental landscape trees, but some have found their way into "the wild" and are a threat to native species.   Below is the reference photo for the above painting.


I decided to not put the praying mantis shown in this photo in the painting.   That particular insect is very creepy to me !

Please contact me for purchase information on "Joyous Celebration" .

"Did You Say Lavender?" (Waterlily)

"Did  You Say Lavender?"
acrylic on canvas
4" x 4"
Here is the lavender waterlily I promised to post by today.  I worked on it some more today and it is now after 4 pm in Hawaii and I wanted to publish this painting here before I work on other canvases in a few minutes.   I had some trouble getting the color correct and I do believe I am going to switched back to using oils very soon.  
First I want to finish another 4" x 4" acrylic water hyacinth to complete this little set of 4 acrylic miniatures. Below are some of my reference photos I took at various places around Oahu.  






I especially like the top reference photo as promising for a new painting.  Let me know your favorite !

Juicy Pink Hibiscus

Juicy Pink Hibiscus
4" x 4"
$70


Here is the miniature hibiscus I promised to post.   It would be a perfect companion to the same size miniature of pink ginger that I recently posted.    It is also on canvas on 3/4 inch stretcher bars and is  painted on the sides if you prefer not to frame it.    www.frankenframes.com will make custom frames for this size painting or even much, much smaller; and of course they make larger frames as well.  

Forgot to mention this is also an acrylic painting on canvas.    

I am also working on 2 lavender colored flower paintings this same size:  a water lily and on a separate canvas a water hyacinth.   Please return here soon to see these paintings.

Think Pink - Plumeria


12" x 12" Acrylic on canvas


This is the completed painting of pink plumeria blossoms that was previously posted here as a work in progress.    If you view the earlier post  on this site showing various stages of the painting, you can tell I changed the arrangement even more in this finished painting.   On my blog at my main website I also show some of my own reference photos of plumeria blooms.    To view them, please go here   

Thank you for visiting and please return again soon.   I am currently working on other paintings that I will post here soon.
