Under the Ironwoods
Kamanu Returns
The outrigger canoe clubs come down to practice in the afternoons, and this is the canoe, Kananu being brought back to its nest under the ironwood trees. You can see one of the Mokulua Islands in the far distance, past Lanikai.
Kailua Beach Picnic
Come sit in the shade and have some pupus with me! This is actually a painting of a painting of a photo I took a few years ago. Guess I like the way it feels like a sweet noon break under the Hau trees.

The Pinky Peachy Tree
Can you guess that I love trees? This one is particularly appealing to me with its profuse bloom of pinky-peachy flowers, floating above a lovely garden of tulips and petunias in outrageous fuschia.
Caribbean Dream
An odd shaped sail on a little boat in the Caribbean. Believe it or not, that long sail is for real – the native sailors have used sails of this shape for generations.
Diamond Head
There aren’t many spots where you can see a view of the iconic Diamond Head crater like this without interruption of cityscape and people on the beach. Bet you can’t guess where I took the photo for this painting!

Noon on the beach at Kailua, and it’s time to get into the water! Surfing, kayaking, swimming – whatever it takes! Available in print and giclée – contact me if you’d like one. 8 x10 and 11 x 14, matted and unmatted.
You Are My Sunshine
This is a painting I did shortly after deciding to try my hand at watercolors – I’m liking it! This is a tree a friend of mine shot that was right by the center where her hubby was treated for cancer. She sat beneath it every day and meditated on his health. He is now […]
