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!

Charley Young Beach is just south of Kama'ole Beach. I paddle board around the rocks there with my dog and always see lots of honu (turtles). It's pretty much spectacular any time of day!

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.

Painting #5 in painting challenge "Sugar Beach"


5 x 7 Acrylic on canvas panel

Sugar Beach also known as Kealia Beach, is said to be the longest beach on Maui. It stretches from North Kihei to Ma'alaea- about 2 1/2 miles. Sometimes I walk parts of it with my dog Oliver. Also have found lots of shells in the winter time there.
