Hawaii Seascape Beach Oil Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Hawaii Seascape Beach

A private Hawaiian Beach tucked away, everyone who lives in Hawaii has one special spot. This is mine.

Aloha and Hele Mai,

This is the place that I always go back to when I take time to relax and commune with nature, take part in a little introspection and revitalize my soul with the inspiration nature provides for future paintings. Living in Hawaii for a few years and now visiting there every year to paint renews my earliest memories that connect me to nature.

I always discover something beneath the surface In Hawaii , emotions tied to the subject matter are an elusive part of art. Every viewer will in their own personal context recreate this special emotion making the painting their own experience

Highway One is surely one of the most beautiful magical places on this earth.
Every turn is a painting waiting to be created. I had the good fortune to live on 17 Mile Drive on the ocean and every day I painted the surrounding area without beginning to record all of the beauty there. Changing landscape due to fog early morning and late afternoon was a constant challenge. I love the fog and the sun in this area.

Oil Painting on Linen Canvas 24 x 36

Painted partially en plein air

Tahiti is a mystical place at all times of day. The colours change constantly, the intensity and brightness of the colour is very difficult to believe when translated to canvas. I look forward to many more paintings of Tahiti capturing the mountains and water at different times of day. Truly a paradise.

Floral Pastel from Japanese Garden Sketchbook by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressism

Floral Pastel from Garden Sketchbook Hawaii, Oahu, Kialua

Sketchbook  Japanese Garden - Oahu, Kialua, Hawaii

from my Sketchbook  Pastel  9 x 12 inches

Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

Painted en plein air

This continuation  post continues exerts from my sketchbooks recording beautiful specimens from private homes gardens in the Caribbean and Hawaii.

 This particular Iris was found in the home garden of Mr T. Tanaka living on the ocean in  Kialua.  Mr Tanaka was from Japan originally  and had lived and brought up his family in Hawaii. He as since passed away but remembered by all of us with great affection and reverence.  His Japanese  garden lives on.  I lived down the block from Mr Tanaka on the ocean in Kialua and enjoyed many special peaceful hours spent in his reflection garden.

As typical in all islands culture Mr Tanaka grew many of the flowers of his native homeland and kept his special  memories alive that way.

 http://www.japan-iris.org/E_index.htm  This is a link to the Japanese Iris Society and they show many photos of special varieties.  I hope you will enjoy a  visit.

  Later I will post  paintings of Mr Tanaka's lily pond and Koi.

TROPICAL SEASCAPE SERIES
My Inspiration:  Each year I spend a few weeks in St Georges, Bermuda in order to paint the local scenery and culture. Most of my original oil paintings of Bermuda are filled with the
 bright yet delicate tropical colors.
  The pink sands in Bermuda turn salmon color in the setting sun. Bermuda’s pink sand beaches look as if they have been dyed with iridescent paints. The colors in the sand are created by the force of the ocean’s powerful waves that crush sea invertebrates like coral, mollusks, clams, and other organisms. The remains of the red-coloured creatures mix with the other sea animals. The pulverized shells mix with the sand giving it a pink tint. This soft rose color of Bermuda’s beaches contrast
perfectly with the aquamarine ocean waters. This color palette equals an artist’s paradise.
This oil painting of a private, secluded  cove is one of the most perfect examples
of the pink sand and aquamarine water. I return to this cove each year to paint,
 always undisturbed by visitors.
This was originally one of many small en plein air paintings in oil later in my studio
 turned into a larger painting.

Bermuda is a self-governing  British Colonial territory north of the Caribbean full of culture and a beautiful preserved way of life.

Tuscany Sunflower Series II Pastel, by P O'Shields

Tuscany Sunflower Series II   Pastel 12 x 16 without mat  Canson Mi-Teintescopyright 2010 PO'Shields  My Inspiration:  Sunflowers on the back roads of Tuscany. When visiting Tuscany each year I paint Sunflowers, Lavender and Olive Trees.  Each Tuscan Sunflower is  different with it's own personality,  thus I usually sketch en plein air  the one that jumps out at me. The best way to find sunflowers in Tuscany is drive on small roads in the countryside  in   Val d’Orcia or  Maremma  - There is nothing more beautiful than the Tuscan fields of golden sunflowers surrounding a golden rustic house with a terra cotta roof.  These are views that I use in large paintings, but for the sketching en plein air there is always one sunflower among the many that calls out to be drawn. I will be posting over the next few weeks series of these plein air sketches.  Bravissima!
