No. 134 / Levi
Original Pan Pastel + Charcoal— Paper Size 9 x 12 in. 

This is Levi. Technically, this image could be part of my guerrilla portraiture series People You Should Meet (PYSM), but it fits into the Tropical theme as well. Levi was our guide on a photo tour we did our last day in Kauai. 

Levi is a brand new father, loves photography, and is a native of Kauai. He is so enamored with his daughter it's quite special. He drove us to a number of special locations for once-in-a-lifetime shots. At one point in our travels he took us to a roadside stand to try real, unadulterated coconut water out of the shell. Yum!

No. 126 / Date at the Beach
Original Watercolor — Image Size 6" x 9" (paper size 9" x 12")

Everyday is a beautiful day (rain or shine) in Hawaii. At Shipwreck Beach, in Poipu, every day is one that resembles this painting. Surfers, sunbathers, and happy couples can be found littered along the shore. If you visit a swimsuit is required—it's warm.

No. 125 / Coconuts
Original PanPastel — Image Size 9" x 6" (paper size 12" x 9")

You can't go to Hawaii and not tap into a coconut, or at least some coconut rum. While on a photo tour we stopped to try some fresh coconut water. A roadside stand, one remaining juice coconut, and one dollar and fifty cents later . . . we were drinking one of nature's best sources of potassium.

Next to the stand was a pile of used coconuts. Rich in colors and shapes I had to capture them for one of my paintings. If you ever go to Hawaii you must try some of their fresh fruit and coconuts. Nothing you can buy at the supermarket can compare.

No. 123 / Totem
Original Watercolor + PanPastel — Image Size 6" x 9" (paper size 9" x 12")

I am back on the mainland! We arrived yesterday morning and had a wonderful trip filled with wedding hoopla, tropical relaxation, and family. As hard as it is to leave sunny days and beautiful beaches, it is nice to be home. 

Yesterday I began this quick little painting. The photo is a bit more vibrant than the piece—lens issues—but it is a combo of watercolor and Pan Pastel. It is from a carving I found in Hanalei Bay.
