The Artist has been a resident of Hawaii for over 25 years, and loves the islands. His paintings and even most of his original prints are in a realistic style. His philosophy is that the beauty of Hawaii is so wonderful that there is no way to improve upon it, he can only attempt tp capture it. So he sticks with detailed realisim.

He paints mostly with arcylic because it drys so fast and he can build up tranparent layers to allow some of the light from the white canvas to add energy to the final hue.
