Two Nuts in a Tree

Two clear Ways to Skin a Cat

Two more innings, up to bat

Two hundred times I've painted That

Two nuts in a Tree

Two Thousand Palm trees swaying slow

How's a girl supposed to know

When just one is "okay fine"

and leave the other nut behind

Painting at Ala Moana Beach Park on March 20th 2010

I met the most wonderful people.

Everyday in Oahu you experience the Aloha Spirit.

Thank you Randy, Don and Brandon for visiting with me

on that beautiful day at the beach.

Punalu'u Beach Park

Punalu'u Beach Park off of Kamehameha Highway is a great stopping point for Plein aire artists.
We had the luxury of a view with the native trees against the waters edge. There are tons of options on views looking towards Kaaawa or the other direction to Hauula. There is also the grand direction of the mountains, making the whole scene a joy to behold.

I am still in awe after 6 months here painting. I can't get enough of Oahu. Thank heavens for this place.

MAP OF THE HAWAII ISLANDS

Brandon says it is a pretty common tattoo ...it is quite interesting.

Still, it would be necessary to spend money on GPS since you can't look at your map

without a rear view mirror.

Brandon was a sweet heart to pose for me. He is back here from the Mainland and looking for a job in his field as an Industrial Designer. I would say he is worth his weight in gold. Smart, humble and just an all around nice guy.

ARTIST ON THE ISLAND Mark N Brown's Painting

Mark Brown Painted this on Sunday

It is an awesome painting of Waimea Bay

This is my favorite beach on O'ahu

how to paint an outrigger

Outrigger at Kailua

watercolor crayons

no matter what you want to paint you must get familiar with it

draw it

color it

paint it

over

and over

until

like Picasso's Bulls

the image is everywhere

and it flows from your fingers

to the paint brush

like your signature flows

from your pen.

I drew this with watercolor crayon and then touched it up with water to flow.

I just wanted another chance to know that scene at Kailua

and the angles of the Outriggers.

NOT A GREAT PAINTING

just a learning tool

TO SLEEP OR PAINT

I NEED A STUDIO

I often look at a website called "ABOUT.COM painting". It is a very informative website and I make comments and contribute whenever possible. Recently Marion Boddy-Evans (who writes the website) wanted to see pictures of artist studio spaces. She asked for the artist to NOT CLEAN UP before taking a picture.





The painting that was completed on my bed was another of Kailua Beach Park
with the outriggers on the dunes.

KAILUA BEACH PARK

KAILUA BEACH PARK

Early on a Saturday before the rest of the world is up, before the rest of the world has made coffee and climbed out of their FRIDAY NIGHT up too lateness, there is Kailua Beach Park.

Alive and kicking with runners and yoga experts, outrigger racers of all shapes and sizes, children in bright colored swimwear and the plein air painters dotting the horizon.
