Beautiful Hawaii art at The Little Grass Shack

October 4th, 2007

When I’m traversing the islands, I am always blown away at the beauty Hawaii has to offer. What amazes me is that people who have never been there think it’s all palm trees and ocean waves. To be honest, some of my favorite parts of Hawaii are places that look nothing like “typical” Hawaii. I love the rural charm of Upcountry on any island. Wide open pastures, horses, cows or sheep grazing, fences made of tree stumps, sweeping views of the coastline and a natural peace that comes with being there. I have captured some of these great scenes in my photography which you can view at The Little Grass Shack. I like to put a slight filter on my pieces so that it appears as photography from far away but as you get close to it, it then looks like its been sketched with colored pencil. Kind of like two works in one.

Of course I have some art that you would expect like palm trees, various flowers, sunsets and the like and they all have special meaning to me. Each picture takes me to a meaningful place where I was inspired to stop and take it all in. I hope they do the same for you. My home is saturated with images of Hawaii, some mine, some other artists because nothing makes me feel like I’m there more than gazing into an art piece and escaping for a few minutes after a stressful day. These lehua blossoms are so unique and it’s those things that people don’t see everyday that I want to share with others. There’s nothing like seeing people’s faces light up and say “ooh, what are those?” and you get to explain the story behind them.

I welcome you to stop by my Hawaii Art Prints section to see all of the art prints available. You can choose from framed prints to other sized unframed prints that you can personalize with your own frame to blend with your decor. Mahalo!
