Hawaiian Waves

I've given myself until the end of January to work on my Hawaiian paintings. It's hard, though, not being there anymore. I'm working from my photos, and remembering all the sights and sounds while pretending I'm still there.

 Here is this mornings effort. I'm trying very hard not to make them too postcardy and incorporate a little mystery and drama. I am including my original reference photo and my enhanced version. My canvas size was not long enough, but I made due. Acrylic 18 x 36 inches
