Here is another "Dream Hale".
It is my interpretation of a cute little plantation style hale (house), nestled deep in a lush tropical setting, complete with palm trees, mountain waterfalls, and the all important moa (chickens). You can't have an authentic Old Hawaii Plantation House without a few moa running amok!

The morning surf at Sandy's has been absolutely pitiful this past month. There have only been a handful of days that got me stoked on the surf. The waves may not be cooperating, but the sun sure is. Many of the mornings have made it worth waking up early and paddling out just to view the spectacular colorful skies as the sun pops up over the horizon. It is a magical few minutes and a great inspiration for painting!

On my last Maui Paintcation, I came across Palauea Beach for the first time. This beach is also known as "White Rock" and is somewhat secluded, which makes it peaceful and uncrowded. I found it so beautiful that I plein aired here twice.
Just recently finished this larger studio version, inspired by the fun time I had there. Paintcations are great when you can come back home with "new view" inspiration!

No jackets, no hats, no mittens, gloves, scarves or boots. The extent of my Hawaiian Winter Wear consists only of wetsuits, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
So lucky to live Hawaii!

Last month, I was finally able to find some time for another wonderful
Maui Paintcation.
Here are some of the souvenirs I came back home with.
This was my first visit to Palauea Beach. It is a scenic, uncrowded beach in Makena. Although the morning was a bit gray, it was still a great painting day.

We stayed in a beautiful condo in Wailea that had it's own private garden with spectacular views. It was easy to set up the easel here one afternoon and paint away!
SOLD
"Wailea Evening"

This adorable little guy was our daily companion out on the lanai. He also provided a bit of constructive criticism as I painted!
Taking some time to soak it all in!
Enough vegging, time to bust out the paints!

We took a day to visit all four MAUI HANDS Galleries that display my work. Their locations are in Paia, Makawao, Lahaina, and Ka'anapali. I was stoked to see two of my pieces in the showcase window at the Hyatt Maui Hands (two top vertical 11x14's in dark frames), which both sold just days after we returned home!
I spent one morning seeking out secluded beach access paths and came upon this place just off of Waiohuli.

Since Palauea was such a nice beach to paint, I went back one afternoon and painted looking the other way. It was windy and overcast, but still a pretty little beach.

While driving Maui's North Shore, we came to this tropical spot.
Unfortunately, I didn't have my paints with me, so I had to settle for a photo instead. I came back to plein air it a few times, but the lighting and weather conditions were never good.
This was my only one shot at Camp One.
Guess I will have to try again on my next Maui Paintcation!
SOLD

Since scouting out places to paint takes a lot of time, I decided to make our last day on Maui easy and paint from our back garden again. It was a perfect last painting day!
