Marina

oil on canvas paper, 12" x 9"

This is a portrait study of an old friend of mine with whom I lost touch a number of years ago.  She was Russian and fluent in five languages.  We met in a French conversation class at the local college and took a fun trip to Hawaii together.  The reference photo for this portrait was taken in Hawaii.  Later, I attended her wedding to an Argentinian man on Kauai.  I hope she's doing well.  I suspect so.  She was brilliant!

Hanalei Palms

 

oil on panel, 18" x 18"

I'm on a palm tree kick right now, as I gear up for a narrative painting that includes palm trees.  This one is of palm trees near Hanalei, Hawaii on the island of Kauai.

Algae-covered Rocks, Waimanalo Beach

oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

Waimanalo Beach is maybe my favorite beach in the world.  It is a gorgeous, pristine expanse of white sand beach on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.  I've been feeling a bit nostalgic for it, so here's a small memento.

Sunset at Secret Beach

oil on canvasboard, 8" x 8"

This is essentially a cloud study done from a photo of Secret Beach on Kauai, my favorite Hawaiian island.  Update:  I have uploaded a more accurate image of this painting, as the one I posted earlier today was too light.

Island Girl

acrylic on canvas, 16" x 12"

This was painted from a live model last weekend in a 2.5 hour session.  There were two models and I wish I could have painted both, but I ran out of time.
