Hawaiian Sunset Luau Honolulu Daily Oil Painting Contemporary Impressionism

"Once in a Lifetime"

6x6" oil on masonite

I know, sunsets can be considered trite by a lot of artists, and I can see why, they have been done many times.  Every once in a while, though, I am pulled to do one.  They really are amazing and of course there really is nothing like the real thing.  But, this reminds me of a special time with my husband on our "once in a lifetime" trip to Hawaii.  That kind of takes the triteness right out of it for me.
Aloha!

Breakfast for Dinner Eggs Eggshells Contemporary Daily Painting

"Breakfast for Dinner"
6" square oil on masonite

Hey, something a little different from my landscapes.  I really had fun changing it up.  You never know when you will find inspiration.  The other day we had an easy dinner, breakfast.  I made cinnamon, raisin french toast, eggs, hash browns and sausage.  While I was preparing everything, I thought I should take a few pics of the kitchen aftermath.  I know, I would have preferred to set up my gear and paint it right there, live, but I couldn't leave everything out all night till the next afternoon, when I had time to paint, ew.  I am an artist, but I am also the mom of 4, the mom in me just couldn't do it :)

I love the amazing colors on the inside of the empty egg shells, wowza!
