After a long break from painting, I finally decided to do a piece that is a bit sentimental. This is of Kailua Bay, my home. I learned to surf out here, spent many a day playing in the ocean here since I was a little kid, I have family and friends that have passed on lay at rest out there in the deep blue. I chose to do this in black and white as it resembles a dream vs. a realistic picture. I really enjoyed doing this piece and plan to start doing more pieces now that I've been re-inspired.
Aloha,
Ben
