Amazing how a piece of driftwood adds such interest to a painting. It's shape and twists give the driftwood character and almost a personality. But then, live trees are full of character as well. Must paint some live trees soon. Started a new, larger landscape today; but the trees in it are secondary,not the main attraction.
24" x 24" Acrylic on Gallery wrap canvas Took many reference photos at Hamakua Marsh in Kailua on Oahu. This is only the beginning of what I hope to paint from several trips there.
Light and breezy day at Diamondhead Miniature study for a larger painting. Somehow this ended up being more impressionistic than my usual realistic style
