Wave Lense and Company

Life Guard Tower, Kahalu'u - 10x8 - oils on board
They've started to replace these fine old colorful guard towers with some made out of fibreglas and totally lacking in charm or color - I was lucky to get this one befoe it was replaced.   I painted this from the Kalenakai Grill at the Keauhou Beach Outrigger Resort.

Little Blue Church at the Pali - Napo'opo'o
oils on board
A very active piece painted from Manini Beach with the pali quickly sketched on and a white mist behind the nearest palm trees.

Kua Bay Wave Lense - 18x12 - oils on paper
We usually paint in the morning when the light is best and low.  At Kua Bay the light streams over the saddle at first light and gets refracted onto the sandy bottom at the base of the waves as they come to shore creating a chartreuse band that moves along with the breakers - a wonderful sight and very difficult to paint.
