"Mother's Help"


8"x10" Acrylic on canvas
$500

This painting borders on impressionism; a little departure from my other seascapes.  I took several reference photos of this mother and son and hope to paint them again soon.  Please feel free  to send me your comments.  I would love to hear from you.

"Power at Chun's Reef"


4"x6" Acrylic on Raymar Panel
$135

This scene is really a little more towards Waimea Bay, but not too far a walk from Chun's Reef on the North Shore of Oahu.   Had a grand time experimenting with color in this painting.   I have been called a "colorist" because I sometimes exaggerate color even in my most realistic works. 

Hope you enjoy "the view" of a little part of the beauty of paradise here in Hawaii.   My intentions for future posts on this blog is to show more miniature still life paintings, so please stop by and visit often.

"Sunflowers at North Padre Island, Texas"


                                                        16"x20" Oil on Canvas

Great news in the mail today!    I received notice that I had been accepted into the prestigious Oil Painters of America!   I am positively elated!   The above painting was one of the entries I sent them to be judged and juried into this wonderful group of artists.   I will definitely be painting more major oils in the future,  but will not abandon my almost daily miniature paintings.   

The painting shown above is currently not for sale.   I may keep it for myself.    However, I do accept commissions; also, check out some of the older posts on this blog .

Thank you for your interest and any questions you may have may be sent to reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com

"Sunrise at Sandy Beach"


                                               8"x10" Acrylic on canvas    $500


Sandy Beach is located on the Southeast part of Oahu, and is quite pleasant with no huge hotels,etc., just beautiful scenery all around.   I never tire of painting seascapes, and I hope my viewers of this blog never tire of them as well.    However, I am considering painting more still life and florals in the near future.    I, as an artist, thrive on a variety of subject matter so you may get a surprise now and then as to what I post.

If time permits, this coming weekend I will have a drawing for a free miniature painting, as promised previously, for one of those who follow this blog and  my Facebook fan page.   The winner of the painting will pay no shipping costs, unless they live outside of the USA.    Hey, the weekend is here!  It is Friday already so either Saturday or Sunday I will have the drawing and post a photo of the free painting along with the first name of the winner, whom I will contact via email.    This will be a fun experience!

"Sunrise at Waikiki" 4"x6" Acrylic


This painting is a little more impressionistic than some of my other work.  I took several photographs
that particular morning, but this was my favorite scene.   It is looking towards the famous Diamondhead extinct volcano, which is not visible in this painting, obviously.  There is a nice park near here and also the Honolulu Zoo, which is a great place for me to take reference photos of birds and animals as well as flowers.  I don't visit Waikiki very often, mostly because I prefer more secluded, rustic beaches without all the hotels everywhere.    But I do enjoy my visits to Waikiki, and it is a great place to take a daily walk along the paved walkway beside the beach--not to mention a safe beach to go swimming.   Waikiki is a must see for anyone visiting Honolulu and I hope you enjoy viewing this painting and in my own artistic way I suppose one could say I "took you" there as you view this scene.

This painting is on canvas mounted on museum quality Raymar Art panel.   Many of the miniature paintings I post on this blog are on these panels, but some are on stretched canvas or gesso board.  All quality materials and paint.   

This painting is priced at $125, including shipping if within the USA.   Outside of the USA, there will be a small charge for shipping; whatever the Post Office charges for Priority Mail to your particular country.

If you are interested in purchasing this painting, or have any questions about my work or commissions,  please contact me at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com

"Rainbow Bridge- Haliewa"


4"x6" Acrylic on board   $125

Haliewa is a charming "artsy" town on the North Shore of Oahu.  I love to visit there and usually have lunch at Cholos Mexican Restaurant  or Haliewa Joe's.   Both have excellent food.   There is even a Wyland gallery in this quaint town, as well as several other art galleries.    The Rainbow Bridge depicted in this painting is so narrow that it does not allow room for 2 way traffic.   Lanes have to wait til it is clear to procede across.  The restaurant Haliewa Joe's is to the immediate right of this scene.

Lifeguard Boat at Waimea Bay



4" x 6" Acrylic
$125
Waimea Bay is on the North Shore of Oahu across the road from a botanical garden I frequent. So when I go to the beach there to take photos, I find a lot of subject matter to photograph at the gardens as well. There is a very nice waterfall at the gardens I intend to paint in the near future. Very popular area.
Life is good and I feel blessed to be able to paint to my heart's content here in "paradise".
Please feel free to contact me if you would like a special commission of a particular place or pet or flowers. I could work from your photos. I do not paint portraits of people, however.

Surf at Shark's Cove















This is a great spot for spectacular waves when the winter swells arrive. A great spot to visit anytime, really. It is on the North Shore of Oahu.

8" x 10" Acrylic on canvas
$500

Here it is May already. I have not posted as much recently due to the fact that I am in the process of making some changes soon. I have been painting faithfully as always and have recently begun painting in Oils again, which is my favorite medium. I will continue to do Acrylic paintings, but the primary focus will be on my Oils. Look forward to what the future holds and please feel free to send me your comments and questions.
