Red Ginger

7 x 5 inches - oil on gessoboard - This is a common plant in Hawaii, especially around the resorts.

Tree at Sunset

5 x 7 inches - oil on gessoboard - While driving across the mountains on the big island of Hawaii, we passed a dry barren area just at sunset.  The way the mountains were lit was wonderful but it's a hard place for trees to survive.

Turtle

8 x 16 inches - oil on hardboard - Let's hope that these majestic creatures survive many more years.

Hawaian Coast

5 x 7 inches - oil on gessoboard - Where the craggy rocks come down to the pounding surf, there are many great views.

Edge of the Woods

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - This deer is not sure about coming any closer. My thanks to Robin Weiss who agreed to let me use his photo as a reference for this one.

Surf in Hawaii

10 x 10 inches - oil on hardboard - sun, sand and waves rolling in from the sea - it does not get much better than this.

Surfers

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - Hawaii seems to be a popular place to surf. Much of it is on a small scale, not the iconic huge waves with young folks taking their lives in their hands - less thrilling but as much fun.
