Kohala Coast, Hawai'i

 Recently got a chance to head over to Hawai'i which got me painting again. I got a few small watercolors out of the trip and figured I'd start posting again a bit.

This is from a spot along the Kohala Coast on a windy, wild feeling day at an old settlement along the coast. Probably one of the more beautiful spots we visited on a trip that was a largely lazy beach trip.

Been awhile since I've posted, this seemed like a good restart. 

I've been getting back to it, it's shocking how much better I feel day-to-day just from painting a bit. 

This watercolor is from a rather spectacular sunset I'll post later.

Stormy Spring Evening, Pt 2

Slightly better photo of the painting. 

Turns out a little bit of sun goes a long way in photographing artwork- e

ven if the artwork is of a storm.

A quick sketch of the Columbia River.  Painting feels great,  every time

I've avoided other artists work as inspiration for my own, but changed it up recently. It's been like a self-directed course- observing how color and light are handled by another artist. It's quite fun, and I'm glad I switched it up.
