Extreme Makeover - Pink Plumeria

"Think Pink - Plumeria"

12" x 12" Oil on stretched canvas

Well, extreme to me.   Last September I posted this painting as an acrylic and it has bothered me every since.  I just was not happy with the painting the more I looked at it.    Finally it dawned on me it was simply not finished yet.  I went over it in oils the past couple of days and I am much happier with it.   To see the original version you may click here  .   The above photograph of the painting was taken outdoors.  Below is a photo of it shot indoors before it got daylight this morning.

You can easily see how the lighting makes a difference in the two photos.   By the way, plumeria blossoms are a favorite for the locals to make into leis. 

Please contact me for purchase information.   Also, I paint commissions of just about any subject except I do not paint portraits of people; if you have a favorite photo of a flower,your garden, or your home, etc., email me an image and we will talk.

Pink Bliss Ginger - Better, Better

"Pink Bliss"
Reworked and Improved
4" x 4" Acrylic on canvas

                                                                             

Worked on this miniature acrylic painting that I first posted on Sunday, October 9, 2011.  I think it is much improved. Check out the previous post and let me know what you think.

This is one of my reference photos with the pale pink ginger in the foreground.   It was taken at a section of Nuuanu Stream in Honolulu.    I believe this photo would make for a great painting and I hope I have time to do so.   So many photos.... so little time ! :-)

I also worked on a miniature painting of a lavender colored waterlily today and will post it later today or tomorrow. I want to study it and make sure it is "perfect" before I post it here.  

Mahalo for taking the time to view my work !

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.

Pale Pink Ginger

Pink Bliss
4" x 4"

Finished this little gem earlier today.  This miniature is on stretched canvas on 3/4 inch stretcher bars.   It is painted on the sides so you don't need a frame unless you want one.     By the way, a wonderful company that makes custom frames  (for the very tiniest of paintings....as well as larger frames) is www.frankenframes.com or call them at 800.322.5899 .  

Everywhere you go in Hawaii there are beautiful ginger flowers.   I especially enjoy the pale pink variety shown in the painting above.    The rich red ones and the dark pink flowers are equally lovely, however.  

I am pricing this size painting at $70 .    I have also begun a painting of a pale pink Hibiscus blossom this same size.    Check back soon to view it; it would make a perfect companion to "Pink Bliss".

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.
