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!
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.
Another painting from Hidden Beach in Maui, Hawaii. This is the view of Kaho'olawe Island. It is the smallest of the 8 main volcanic islands in the Hawaiian Islands and is about 7 miles southwest of Maui. It is now a reserve and being restored after the military used it for target practice for years.
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".
I love the contrast of the blue waters against the black lava rocks in Makena! I drive over here a lot since it is close to home and have painted several paintings from the area. This 5 x 7 acrylic on canvas is the first in a 30 day challenge to produce 30 paintings-no problem!
But it was the 4th painting of the day. I started with 3 ACEOs first, then this 5 x 7 acrylic on canvas panel. I really prefer painting on the hard panels because the acrylic paint just glides on. But since I have some canvas panels prepared, I'll use them.
