It’s been an interesting and productive year for artist here in Hawaii.   Me, I’ve been working much of the time on painting scenes from Hawaii’s past--- I love nostalgia. And in this hyper fast and glitzy age we live in it is no surprise to me that folks often just want to kick back and see and recall a simpler and slower age… such as these shown here

Since then I have been deluged with requests to paint more nostalgic scenes of Hawaii and of course I will.  In fact I have several in the planning stages now.  But as you might imagine it takes a bit of research to check pictorial facts----- cross checking if possible with folks who actually recall a place when they were younger.   And then finally constructing a pleasing composition that says in a simple picture ‘this is what it used to look like back then... .’
