Seems I never find the time to add things to the blog. So…finally – I’ll add this – I finished this painting about 2 months ago, and finally have found the time to highlight it here.

Images from Maui 2009 vacation – enjoy!
I just finished my newest painting, “Upcountry Sunset” – 12″ x 36″, Oil.
This is the view at sunset overlooking Upcountry Maui, while driving down from Haleakala Crater – enjoy!
Now that I’ve finished my previous painting, “Wahikuli Sunrise” – time to start a new one! The next one (that hopefully won’t take too long for me to finish up) – tenatively to be called “Last Light” – is from a collection of images I shot after spending one day this past summer doing a 20 mile hike within Haleakala Crater on Maui. The damn hike kicked my ass, and I made it back to my car at the head of Halemau’u Trail right before sunset.
While driving down the mountaina – I ended up having to pull over and shoot the incredible sunset across the hills above Kula. From these shots, comes the subject for this next painting. Finished size will be 12″ x 30″ – Oil.
So, after one night of painting, I have the basic colors down on the canvas. This is just the beginning – it has a long way to go – but I’m already getting a good feeling on how it’s going to turn out!
I finally got around to finishing my newest painting – “Wahikuli Sunrise”!
Oil – 2008 | 18″ x 24″
View from Wahikuli Beach Park, looking across toward the island of Lana’i.
I’ve done a number of sunset paintings over the years – and thought, it might be interesting to do something a little different. Wahikuli Beach Park is located on Maui, between Lahaina and Ka’anapali. This past August, the last day I was on Maui, I went down to the beach for sunrise with friends – and the calm, quiet morning kind of stuck with me once I left – this is the result.
