Miniature paintings

Since arriving here on my new island home of Maui, I have painted and sold a lot of my miniature paintings. The fun thing about these little gems is I paint my daily life here. Everyone I've done has been painted from a photo I've taken on my iPhone. The one shown here is from our day trip to the Kula Botanical Garden on New Years Day. The size of my miniatures range from 2x3 to 6x8 inches. Each one comes with it's own easel.

I photograph everything and anything that catches my eye. Not all the images I take make it onto a canvas. I weed through 100s before deciding on one to paint. Most of the ones that do make it on to canvas I do while sitting in front of Village Gallery's gift shop on Front Street in Lahaina. For those of you who are familiar with Front Street you know what a historic old seaside town it is and know it is an artist haven. At least for some artists. On the days that I paint in front of the store, I get to meet and talk to lots of happy vacationers. People come from all over the world to visit the Hawaiian Islands. Some come by ship, some by planes and most of them are having the best time and can't wait to come back to visit.

I love my new life here. It's what I've worked so hard for many years to get to.



Please note, the painting in the photo has sold and is no longer available.
