People at Waimea Bay

Waimea Bay is located on Oahu's North Shore and is home to one of the island's most beautiful ahupua'a gardens, massive clean beach front and world-class big waves in the Winter.

I was aiming to paint the scenery again. However this particular group of people was so full of life. And the woman with the orange hair was too spectacular not to paint!

Original (14" x 11" Oil on Canvas)

This painting was done "Plein Air," which means outside, on location. While doing Plein Air, one must capture the essence of each scene quickly as everything the artist sees from color to shadows changes.
