This piece captures one of Hanalei’s familiar wonders—the passing light rain that sweeps across Laʻau Ridge, trailing rainbows over the bay. Below, the pier is sunlit and alive with people, while the sails of a few boats catch the glitter of afternoon light dancing on the water. Painted from life over multiple visits to the location and later refined in the studio, the work carries both immediacy and contemplation. It is a celebration of shifting weather, island rhythm, and the eternal magic of Hanalei Bay.

Artworks of differing sizes have unique proportions. Accordingly, the dimensions of each of our prints vary slightly from one image to the next. Each is trimmed custom and includes a small border. They are listed online by paper size. An “8.5x11in” print has an image size close to 8x10in and works well in 11x14in frames. The “13x19in” prints have an image size around 12x16in. and look great in 16x20in frames. These suggestions are for convenience, please explore custom framing options to bring out the best in your collection.
We recommend using conservation quality framing materials to protect and preserve artoworks. Simply put, this means using acid-free mat boards, backings and adhesives with UV filtering plexiglass or glass.
We work hard to ensure that our Fine Art Prints are lifelike, accurate representations of the original artworks. We print with pigment-based archival inks for vivid, lasting color and use top of the line cotton fine art papers to create permanent, beautiful images.
The paints that come closest to imitating Nature’s beauty must certainly be oils. The purity of color and buttery consistency are a joy to handle and the process of painting is made easier by the enormously versatile medium. Amusingly, that oils repel water is quite helpful to the Plein Air artist in Kauai. When (not if) it rains on my canvas or palette, I wait for the shower to pass, shake off the water and pick up where I left off, no harm done!
