Kaua'i Shores

 

As much as I love the desert, sometimes I get romanticized images of Polynesian islands in my head.

When we took a trip to the Hawaiian Islands in October 2019, I had hoped to see places that resembled the pictures I have in my brain, but we never did find places like that on our too-brief trip.

So I've taken to painting real-life scenes but with a certain, uh, embellishment! 😃

Kaua'i Shores         8" x 10" / 20cm x 25cm

The foundation of this piece is Tunnels Beach (aka Makua Beach) is northern Kaua'i in the Hawaiian Islands. The plant life is imaginary but is based on real plants that grow on Kaua'i, but not necessarily this close to the ocean. The only animal I depicted is the Hawaiian honeycreeper, the red bird sitting on the tree fern -- difficult to paint, since it's VERY small on the painting!

More Polynesian ðŸŒ´ðŸŒ´ðŸŒ´paintings to come, but now it's back to the desert ðŸŒµðŸŒµðŸŒµ in the studio🎨!!
