ABOUT THE PRINTS
"Onomea Bay Pali"
This painting was done on location at the Hawaiian Tropical Botanical
Gardens. My painting partner, Sandy, and I have yearly memberships
because it offers a rich assortment of plants in gorgeous settings,
including right along the ocean. We get shuttled to each location in
a golf cart and picked up at the end of the day. It doesn't get much
better than that!
This painting was completed in one sitting. Some white of the canvas
is still evident, and you can literally count the strokes in the
painting. When I looked at it later in the studio, I saw that there
was a mood in it. I didn't want to destroy that. I continued to look
at it hanging on one of the walls that I keep in the studio for that
purpose. As time went on I saw that only a tiny reenforcement on the
dark was all it needed, and signed it.
