Painting Maui Hawaii on Location
#59, Lahaina Old Prison, Maui,
11x15 Acrylic on panel
This is where they kept
the rowdy prisoners back in the whaling days a hundred years ago. That's
a Royal Palm tree in the front. Naturally the drawing took at least a day
while the painting took two days. The straight lines were painted by laying
the rigger brush along side a straight edge. I painted this picture "Van
Gough in the wind" style, that is without an easel. I didn't have a chair
back then either, (1979), so I was sitting on the ground.
