Painting In Kauai

Aloha everyone!

Just came back from Kauai! It was a really great time! Visiting local gardens, kayaking on the river surrounded by lush, dense jungles, sun bathing on the beaches, and lots of swimming and lots of papayas (one of my favorite fruits) ! I am captivated by Kauai's beautiful landscape, unique flora, and it's friendly inhabitants. I wanted to paint them all. Luckily, I was able to meet a famous Hawaiian artist, Patric Ching, and even visit his studio and paint along with him. Here are my two paintings of Kauai scenery.

Nothing can stop an artist who desires to achieve

Art is the slowest of marathons. It can be gruelling and boring. Rarely do spectators come out and cheer and hand out drink. Like the marathon runner, the artist must exercise daily and often to build up endurance. As their endurance and confidence increase that they can run the long distance required.
Reinventing daily, we build muscles. With self-training, focus and pressure we gain unconscious confidence. Gradually and inevitably, we achieve our personal best.
We begin to take liberties with stride and stroke.
We keep stroking.
We look over our shoulders.
We smile at the crowd.
