A Good Day At Kailua Beach

"A Good Day At Kailua Beach"

16" x 20" Acrylic on canvas

Available

Kailua Beach has been called one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.   It is very inspiring to me as an artist and I must return there soon.   I have many reference photographs I have taken of the area already, but there are still endless possibilities for new paintings to be found at Kailua Beach, located on Oahu.  So much inspiration, so little time !     :-)

Kailua on Dwellable

Garden Along The Strand

"Garden Along The Strand"

9" x 12" Acrylic on canvas

$625

The Strand is a famous walkway along the "Beach Cities" south of Los Angeles.   Beautiful homes are along one side of the Strand and the owners plant gardens on the other side of the walkway and it makes for wonderful scenes to paint.   I spent some time in Los Angeles and visited the beach cities often.   This scene is part of Manhattan Beach, California.    

Thank you for visiting today!

Peonies and More Peonies !

"Peony Delight"

6" x 12" Oil on canvas

$500

This was a delight to paint!   Peonies are so regal and in my book are the "queen" of flowers.   They have been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years and are the floral symbol of that country.  Romans first brought peonies to England about the year 1200.   

Below is a considerably better photograph of the painting "Glorious Abundance" which I first posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012.  

"Glorious Abundance"

16" x 20" Oil on canvas

It is difficult for all the true colors in the white peonies to show up in the photograph, but this image above is pretty close.

"Tropical Patterns With Limes and Plums"

This was so enjoyable to paint.   I need to buy more material in a variety of printed designs so I can use it for  backgrounds for future paintings.  Hope you enjoy !

We Four (Red and White Tulips)

"We Four"

6" x 12" oil on canvas

$500

This painting is rather a bold statement, but that is the effect I wanted.  I hope to paint more tulips soon, maybe some soft pink ones.   Everyone must realize that tulips do not grow in Hawaii's tropical climate, but I buy them from the florist to paint and just enjoy their beauty for a few days in my home.   I planted several varieties of tulips in my garden when I lived in New England, as well as crocus and daffodils.  What a pretty sight every Spring !

Glorious Abundance - Peonies

"Glorious Abundance"

16" x 20" Oil on canvas

Peonies are a favorite flower of mine, but of course they do not grow in a tropical climate like Hawaii so I have to buy cut flowers from the florist to enjoy and paint.   When I lived in New England I had several peonies in my flower garden.

Golden Glow (Yellow and White Plumeria)

"Golden Glow" 

Yellow and White Plumeria blossoms - Work in Progress

12" x 12" oil on stretched canvas

This painting is almost finished.... need to tweak it a bit with some lavender-blue shadows on the flowers.  If I did that now while the yellow paint is still wet,  the lavender-blue would turn a greenish mud color.  Check back for the completed painting!  I enjoy painting plumeria blossoms and intend to work on more of them in the near future.  

I am also working on a couple of other paintings right now that I am pretty excited about.  I feel so blessed to be able to paint, which I love to do and I derive much satisfaction from a successful painting.
