Home at last

After a long 3 weeks of work on the mainland, I'm finally back home in Hawaii and ready to get back at it. This piece is done from one of my favoite viewpoints, the backside of Honokohau Harbor marina. Its a sunny, high sky day with a few unchartered boats still left parked in their slips, with the trade winds blowing through the palms in the afternoon.
The bulk of this larger piece (14" x 18") was done in the studio over the course of 3 painting sessions, and it was kind of a test to gauge how my plein air skills were translating into studio work. A positive influnence I think.
