I painted this from the park next to 505 Front Street in Lahaina. The scene across the street looks towards the West Maui mountains and the historic area of Moku'ula. I tried to give this painting the sense of a time gone by.

Hot, Dry and Dusty
by Michael Clements

This scene is from the sugar cane fields along Pulehu road. It's hard to imagine working in these vast fields, where the trade winds create dust clouds and there is no shade from the sun. These women always dress in colorful garb. Possibly, so they can be seen thru the haze of red dust. They are the last of a generation.

A Perfect Afternoon at Kanaha

My friend Jim and I found a downed coconut tree to sit down on and paint. I usually stand while painting but on this day I was tired and sitting there painting seemed so relaxing. There was no wind on this day which made it "perfect."

Feeling the Power

This little painting was from a day spent painting at Kapalua. The beachgoers were plentiful and this boy caught my attention. This little guy was inching his way out to deeper water. He was clearly hesitant about this powerful force but I think that yellow life preserver gave him the confidence he needed.

These young men were out at first light with their nets fishing in the surf outside the fish pond near Koki beach in Hana.

View from Hanamu Road

Looking up towards Haleakala this huge pasture has some of the most brilliant shifting colors Makawao has to offer. Any one travelling this stretch of Hanamu Rd. has undoubtedly seen this. It's one of my favorite upcountry scenes and it exemplifies the country nature of this area of Maui.

Breakfast for Two

Getting out early for that first glimmer of light that hits the terrain is always exciting. I never know what will be revealed. On this particular day my eye was captivated by this strongly backlit group of horses. I selected two of them and quickly went to work. For me, this scene is really more about the light. The horses were a bonus.

Baldwin Avenue Pineapple Fields

These cultivated pineapple fields change color as the crops age. They remind me of a quilt. I enjoy weaving these colors up towards Haleakala. This is one of my favorite scenes upcountry.

Silvery Sunset

Railroad transportation was big in the state of Hawaii at one time. Now days this is the only active narrow gauge train still running. I like mechanical things and every kid I knew growing up had a train set at one time. Too bad we don't have more trains running on Maui, it would be a nostalgic way to get around the island.

Tug Boats at Daybreak

The shapes and reflections the boats provide are irresistable to me. Early morning light, tranquil water, and smells of the ocean all add up to a meditative state of mind for me. This painting is an attempt to capture those sensations.

Honolulu Tugs

I really like painting working boats. There's something about the nature of tug boats. The small powerful presence, waiting to help manuever ships 20 times their size in and out of the harbor, operated by skilled skippers, they are an essential part of every commercial harbor. Fun to paint and fun to watch.

Another painting from the working side of the Puunene Sugar Mill. These massive trucks are ready to be unloaded. Standing next to these, the tires are taller than me. I'd like to drive one. Since that is not likely, painting them is the next best thing. It's probably safer for everyone too.

Fill It Up and Haul It Off
by Michael Clements

I painted this on a Sunday. Not much activity going on.This truck was parked under the hopper and periodically something would thud down into the truck. I don't know what it is or where it's going or how long it takes to get a truck load. I realize I don't know much about any of this, but that doesn't prevent me from painting it.

Dirty Business at Pu'unene Mill

I've painted this sugar mill many times. Lately, I am drawn to the areas where the actual work of the mill goes on. It's up close and personal. It's also noisy, dirty and smelly. It takes a lot of dirty work to make that sparkling crystal product that I like to put in my coffee.

Aging Gracefully

This old Ford truck is off of Omaopio road in lower Kula. I think it could be restored to operating condition, but left as it is, I have to admit that it looks pretty impressive as a stellar example of
"lawn art".

The Makawao town July 4th parade was the source for this painting. This particular composition reminds me of my own past participation in parades.

It just doesn't get any better than having this type of natural beauty all around us here on Maui. Like they say "lucky we live Hawaii."

The sky had just cleared after a quickly moving storm to reveal Molokai and the sunlight hitting the clouds above it. I enjoyed the challenge of capturing this scene.

I see sunsets like this from my home in Kula all the time. It's odd that I don't paint them more often. This was done in plein air which means I had to be quick about it. It's easy to know when your finished with this type of painting. It's when you can't see your
paint pallete because it's night time.
