Banyan Tree in Waikiki

All though there are numerous banyan trees in Waikiki, this particular Banyan has been treasured by artist and tourist for years. From this view point one can experience the Waikiki surf crowd, Diamond Head, and the beloved Royal Hawaiian Hotel nestled nicely in the middle of it all.

Waikiki is always teeming with human excitement! From surfers to spectators, everyone seems to be in a continuous good mood.

Original (40" x 20" Oil on Canvas), in one of Howard's custom made mahogany frames.

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.
