This piece was inspired by a Partridge Tun shell that had become dissembled in the sand and surf. The insides were disconnected from the exterior and I found it a real “think” piece. As always, I took some liberties with the colors because they were quite bleached when I found them. Blues talk here in Hawaii… and that’s how I […]

I love it when colors emanate from the canvas. Especially, when differentiating depth is involved in the perspective. This was a fun one to complete! E Komo mai & Aloha!Richard Hart

This too is a wonderful location, just off the highway, to sit and watch whales wintering in Hawaii. Best whale viewing here is January – February. But even without whales this place is a wonderful place to view the majesty of God’s gorgeous ocean. E Komo mai & Aloha!Richard Hart

The Heiau at Pu’uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park holds many colorful and deceptively alluring secrets. This brackish pond served as a study in light and shadow while exploring the changes in seasons. Aloha!Richard Hart

This is the inlet behind the breakwater jetty at Keokea Beach Park in Kapa’au, Hawaii. The little lagoon is always crystal clear and the breakers rampage just outside their grasp daily. When the sky clears here you can see miles and miles and it is one of my very favorite spots for thinking, praying and writing. Aloha!Richard Hart

Sometimes… my art is just fun for the sake of fun! This contemporary piece is whimsical and designed just for the joy of mixing color and textures. No connection (that I can think of) exists between this art and the Universal Pictures 1995 comedy “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar”… but there I go thinking again!

The Pacific is grand at sunrise on the Big Island of Hawaii. This piece was from a vantage point near Honomu, Hawaii. E Komo Mai! Aloha!Richard Hart

Hawaii has an abundance of colorful flora on display year round. What I miss about living in the Puget Sound Region of Washington State is the Fall foliage and unique colors. If Hawaii had a Chrysanthemum that would grow here, my estimate is that it would look like this on my bookshelf. Enjoy! E Komo Mai & Aloha!Richard Hart

In Hawaii, there are many beautiful roads and places to tour and see. In North Kohala, the road gets straight and long and the views are enchanting. The water here is ultramarin blue, unless it gets cloudy or windy. The challenge in this is piece was creating a straight line for the long stretch. I know… it wobbles! That’s Hawaii! […]

As I imagine the unknowable… I sometimes see it in dark, but vibrant shades. Comforting, but but distinctly out-of-reach. Certain… but elusively innumerable. (Note: This work appears to shift – if you try to look at the entire creation) Enjoy…. Aloha!Richard Hart
