I finished this portrait of my friend Tommy's brother-in-law Art yesterday. It's not a very good photo of it though...I'm not sure why the camera didn't want to focus on it. I tried twice with equally bad results both times. Mahalo for stopping by.
Aloha, Timo
Another couple of painting sessions have brought the new portrait to this stage of completion. The backlit vineyard view toward Sonoma Mountain is certainly adding a lot to this painting as it developes.
Mahalo for stopping by. Aloha Ohana, Timo
I recently started painting a small (18"x14") posthumous portrait of a good friend's deceased brother-in-law from a family group photo that was furnished to me as a reference. Several sessions have yielded this progress. The background will be a local vineyard scene as he worked in the wine/grape industry in Sonoma Valley for many years.
I finished the painting called "Waialua Stream #1" (Oil on Canvas - 30"x48") today. I'm very satisfied with the final composition.

Today's painting was mostly about Plumeria leaves. And a bit on the Hibiscus blossoms. It is progressing a bit every day now. It's good to have enough energy to paint for a few hours at a time now. My strength & stamina are returning a bit more each day that passes. Mahalo Akua! Aloha, Timo
I'm still working on the Plumeria branch, but it's coming along well. More later. Mahalo for your interest. Aloha, Timo
I started painting a group of Plumeria flowers into Waialua Stream #1 today and then stopped to work on the Ocean and then added a very small (to stay in scale) female surfer in trim on a wave off the mouth. Still plenty more to do...
Mahalo for dropping in. More later! Aloha, Timo
