Lanikai for Peter and Jason


Lanikai, I have many memories of playing on the beach here when I was little kid. Countless days of paddling out to the Mokulua islands (pictured) to surf and hang out with friends. The place is magical although it's becoming more and more crowded with tourism. 


I painted this scene with the idea of there being a solid East swell hitting and the sky looking like the calm before the storm. This is Acrylic on canvas, 24"X18". 


This painting is dedicated to my two long lost friends, Peter Miller and Jason Bogle who left us too early in life. The painting was sold through silent auction and the proceeds went directly to the Peter Miller Foundation.
