Happy Thanksgiving Friends,

Are You Thankful? Well, thankfulness is the Feel good emotion so enjoy the season that reminds us to appreciate what we have. 

The Art Tip this time is "Paint Your Gift". It's about using your creative talents for making Gifts of Art.

We have some Great Holiday Art Specials in the form of In-Stock Giclées and Original Paintings, available at 25%-50% Off for a limited time. I'm also sending FREE Coloring Cards to all who make orders from my website before Christmas. 

I'll be at Kalapawai Market in Waimānalo on December 3, from 2-4pm, autographing Art and Books and personalizing them to you and your loved ones. Even Kimo will be there!

The featured Painting in Paradise tv episode is the Rodeo Bull episode. We had a great time painting the Waiomina Cowboy Boot in Waimea and decorating Stick Ponies which we raced at the Waimānalo Rodeo.

Our Favorite Photos are reminders of Fun Memories and More Art. Remember to think of that which you are thankful for and remind those around you to do the same. 

With Thanks and Aloha from me,
.

Art Tip - Paint Your Gift


The Gift of Art 
Have you been blessed with a gift? In this season of Thanks and Giving, I'd like to encourage you to create your gifts through art. Wouldn't it be great if you could give at least one of the special people in your life a gift that you made for them? Howabout if you made All your gifts this way?

Some of the most practical gifts that folks will be thrilled to keep and use are: hand-painted clothing like hats and shirts, containers to hold paint brushes, or even a hand-colored notecard with a heart-felt letter written on it.

Painted coconuts make great gifts. They are small and it's easy to find places for folks to display them. Dried coconuts are an amazingly durable surface to paint on and I personally have coconuts that I painted nearly fifty years ago that still look freshly painted today.

Here, artist Lexi paints a mermaid on a coconut at the White Sands hotel.

New Mugs For Your Favorite Drinks


Makapu'u Lighthouse Mugs are popular gifts this year. Order soon if you'd like 'em by Christmas. Designed by myself and artist Nick Black.


This design was originally the 100th anniversary line drawing. Last year we added the color to it on our shirts and coffee mugs.


"Koholā - Hawaiian Humpbacks at Kīlauea Point"
 is new design from beneath the lighthouse I lived at when I worked for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.


"Ka Makani Lehua" (the wind of the lehua blossom) is from a 12' x 28' ceramic and glass mural installed at Lehua Elementary.
