Painting 21 - going more abstract


I am abstracting my art more and more now and am happy with the way it is going. I am striving for a more contemporary, unique style, personalized by the places I am at in my life.

 I hope you will follow on my colorful mixed media journey.

"Halama Beach Path" near my cottage in Maui, where I take my dog "Oliver" for his morning walks.

5 x 7 acrylic and oil pastels on canvas. Painting continues around edges.

Painting #18 "Kaho'olawe Storm"

5 x 7 Mixed Media on canvas

"Kaho'olawe Storm"

I love the colors in this painting and the contrast of the water against the dark lava rocks.

Kaho'olawe is the smallest of the 8 main islands in Hawaii, 
The uninhabited island is about 7 miles off the south side of Maui.

Painting #15 in 30 in 30 painting challenge "Haycraft Beach, Maui"

5 x 7 Acrylic on canvas panel 

Another quiet and secluded beach. Haycraft Beach is on the south end of Ma'alaea. It connects to Ma'alaea Beach and then Sugar Beach. It has a great view of the south coast line and it's a great place to watch whales in the winter time. Oh and the sand is really soft!

Painting # 6 in painting challenge "Kanaha Beach, Maui"


5 x 7 Acrylic on canvas panel

Kanaha Beach is another long stretch of wild coast on the north shore of Maui between Kahului Harbor and Spreckelsville Beach. It is made up of white sand beaches, coastal dunes, wetlands and beach parks. On any given day you will see windsurfers, kitesurfers, surfers, pole fishermen, divers, canoe paddlers, campers and general beach goers. Also a great view of the West Maui Mountains and Iao Valley.

"Halama Street Sunset"

 This sunset was from one of the beach access paths a few houses down from my home in Kihei, Maui. There were a handful of people sitting and enjoying it with myself and my dog "Oliver".
Love these sunsets!
