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 !

Tropical Shores
"Tropical Shores"
5" x 7" oil on canvas on panel
This seascape is totally from my imagination but is very typical of many tropical beaches. I especially enjoyed painting the colorful cloud; clouds are special to me and to capture them on canvas is sometimes a challenge.

Haleiwa Paradise (Hawaiian Seascape)
"Haleiwa Paradise"
12" x 16" oil on canvas
$1575
These white outrigger canoes are always here on the beach at Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu. The surf is usually more calm here and it is a wonderful beach park for families. Not too far from this area is the beach where segments of the TV show "Lost" were filmed.
