Tahiti Sunset Seascape Oil by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

TAHITI SUNSET

Oil Painting on Linen Canvas 24 x 36
by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism
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.

Hawaiian Dreams Seascape Oil by P O'Shields

Hawaiian Dreams Oil Seascape by P O'Shields

Original Oil Painting on linen canvas 24 x 36 

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.

Exploring Saint Lucia Plein Air Pastel Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism Artist

Exploring Saint Lucia
Plein air pochade - Pastel on Mulberry Hand Laid Paper
11 x 14 inches

This pochade was done on a beach in Saint Lucia, one of the Windward Islands, Eastern Caribbean.  These studies are quickly done to become familiar with my surroundings.
  I like to use rough mulberry or banana paper which has texture that adds to the environment on the beach. This will be used in a series of my plein air explorations of islands recorded in journals.
 These are going into a current book under  construction now.

View to Lanai Hawaii Oil Seascape by Phyllis O'Shields

View to Lanai Hawaii  TROPICAL DREAMSCAPES

Just Another Day in Paradise Series
  ©PhyllisO’Shields 2010
My Inspiration:  Living in Hawaii I found some of my happiest times were painting trips to Lanai. Lanai is the most secluded island in Hawaii and also called the Pineapple Island because of the past island wide active plantations.  The only town is Lānaʻi City, a small settlement. 
The peaceful atmosphere there is created because there are no traffic lights, no shopping malls, and no public transportation. Special places and beautiful views can be visited only via dirt roads
 that require a four wheel vehicle. 
Painting on the island involves my hiking into secluded areas carrying a back pack with all painting supplies and an easel.  This is very much like hiking in Bermuda to get up close and personal with the area you wish to paint, but well worth the effort in both places.
I usually go over via a short trip across the Auau Channel on the Maui-Lanai Ferry,
beautiful views all the way, return on the last Ferry of the evening.

TROPICAL SEASCAPE SERIES

Sanibel Island Lighthouse was painted in the early morning. The sun was very bright and the clouds a delicate pink as early morning sunrises usually are on the island.
 An ideal day bright, sunny without even a breeze.
I have painted this lighthouse many times as the setting is ideal with beach and sand. This painting is a little different in that I painted it with very thin water
colour type glazes and washes in oil.
The day was so delicate in colour that it gave a very ethereal  quality to the scene. This is an excellent shelling beach, world known. I hope you enjoy this painting.

Seascape Hawaiian Paradise I by Phyllis O'Shields

"Hawaiian Paradise I" Original Oil Painting on Canvas 24 x 36  -

Hawaii is truly a paradise. Every island in the chain and every view transports you into another world of beauty. I lived in Kailua, Oahu for  many years and traveled to each of the islands on painting journeys. The Aloha spirit serves to make the views even more beautiful.  I hope all of my paintings of Hawaii remind you of that special beach that takes you away into a very peaceful place.

Original Oil Key West Storm Approaching by Phyllis O'Shields

Original Oil Painting on canvas 30 x 40 inches.


This painting was done on location before a hurricane reached shore. The emotion of incrediable cloud formations and the smell of an approaching storm was overwhelming.  The location here was being scouted for an outdoor painting workshop at a later date.

I paint many studies in Key West, living half of the year in Miami it is a short distance to drive down. I have many friends there and I am presently working diligently to educate and  point volunteers for the Sanctuary Friends of the Florida Keys http://www.sanctuaryfriends.org/   This group is vital for working with clean up days and now the oil spill approaching. Great articles and updated oil spill information on this site.

My mission as an artist as many of you know is to preserve these beautiful special places on the earth for future generations to enjoy.
