Hanamu Road in the Rain

Painted this little 6 x 8 inch in the pouring rain from under the back hatch of my car.  It was so much fun - listening to the rain, getting a bit spattered and loving the process and fresh air, birds etc....  Ahhhhh.....

Ashly

This is my finished study from Tina Garrett's workshop.  What an incredible experience.  We had Soo much fun!  Tina is an amazing teacher - very high energy, great sense of humor and just super generous and helpful!  I'm really excited to do more figure work.
If you have a chance to study with her - you absolutely should!

Thompson Road Barn

This was painted on two consecutive Gorgeous mornings out on Thompson Road in Keokea, Maui.  As always - I meet and chat with The nicest people.  It's one of the joys of being on location!

Kaho'olawe from Thompson Road, Kula

 

Painted this on location from Thompson Road in Kula, Maui.  It's 6 x 8 inches - oil on panel.  Really had fun with the design and shapes 

Hanamu Road Tree Line

Painted on location just mauka of Makawao on Hanamu Road.  Just before the rain.... stay tuned....

Hui No'eau Oil Study

Painted this little 6x6 study on location.  I love the Hui No'eau buildings and the red tiled roof - so much history and character.  I found out a couple of days ago that I'm not going to be able to be there for the 2017 Maui Open Studio which is quite a bummer for me.  I really loved it there, but we're going to try that location again for 18. 

Meanwhile - I'll scout around and find a different location for 2017.

Value Sketches

Took a Fantastic one-day seminar from Joshua Been last week.  He's a super dynamic, high energy guy.  We had a great time and learned a great deal!
