Waialua Beach. Moloka'i



This was the fifth plein air oil painting I did on the last trip. Done the day before I left to come back to the mainland, it was still too wet to travel so I left it there with a friend to hold for me. I'm returning to finish a double portrait and do some more plein air painting at the end of November. Aloha

Flame Ginger & Heliconia

This was the 4th oil painting that happened on the last trip to Moloka'i in August of this year. These huge blossoms were in a vase on the table at the Waialua Beachhouse and I just couldn't resist trying to capture some of that incredible color. The background went through some changes and I'm still planning to paint on it some more, believe it or not. I'll show that when it happens.
Mahalo for stopping by. Aloha, Timo
