Shipwreck Sunrise 12.20.17

     My family and I recently visited the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian chain.  This is one of my favorite islands, though all of them are very special to me.  I wanted to paint some of the sunrises while I was there.  I missed the day before this one which was spectacular in its subtle hues and never saw another like it the whole time I was there.  There were days of off and on again gentle rain and this one shows those rains far off to the south of Kauai over the ocean.  This is just off of Shipwreck Beach.

Back Home Again

I was really having trouble finding something I was excited about painting. I set up several scenes but never got really excited about them. This was the last set up and even then I wiped the first and changed the hat. I thought doing a complex shape would be a challenge and it was!

Fall Shadows

I haven't posted in a while because we have been moving into a new home and studio.  My studio, of course, being the last thing to get done.  I thought I would post some old and new things to look at.

This is a small practice I did during Scott Christensen's workshop.
