Island Rooster Painting

I finally got a chance to finish the rooster painting I've been working on. We saw a ton of roosters walking around the island of Kauai. At first it was really strange to see a rooster walking across the sand at the beach, but it became commonplace after we'd been there a few days. I really enjoyed how colorful some of the roosters were, so I decided to do a painting of a Kauai rooster by the beach. I'd love to live on Kauai for a few months every year and just paint!

Sea Turtle Painting

My husband and I went to Kauai, Hi in July and we loved it! We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle while we were snorkeling. Since I was really excited about swimming with a sea turtle, I decided to do a painting of one while I was dreaming of being back on the island of Kauai.
