(New Work Posted June 26, 2008)

ALOHA AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

I am an avid plein air and studio oil painter of primarily Hawaiian

landscapes and beachscapes. Above all else, I am an impressionist

and a Pacific colorist, drawing endless inspiration wherever I go

whether it be in these beautiful Hawaiian Islands or elsewhere.

Painting brings me great satisfaction and joy. I hope that my

enthusiasm and excitement for my subject communicates visually

in every painting I create. That is my measure of success.

I derive my technique from the plein air school and paint ala prima

whenever possible. To keep my work fresh and exciting, I value initial impressions. I‘m attracted to the dramatic, and unique point of view

in my subject matter. I look for high levels of contrast, intriguing shadows,

and especially juicy and interesting colors to interpret. I strive to make

my paintings look effortless and dynamic, as though I got it right on the

first pass – the right value, the right color and the right composition.

I also strive to engage viewers by my interpretation of and passion

for the subject, and hope they see something new even though they

may have visited the spot many times before. And finally, I want viewers

to sense the excitement and fun I experienced during the painting process.

Please enjoy your visit to this website and return often

to view recent additions to my “Fresh Paint” collection.

I always welcome hearing from you so don't hesitate

to e-mail or call with your comments.
