In this collection of paintings, the artist at times seems to be experimenting with a tonalistic palette. At the same time, he is eliminating much detail, simplifying down to the essential. He is adopting a painterly, impressionistic approach, such as in Afternoon Breeze a large square painting about the line of trees visible from the Hana Highway beyond the airport. A small (6" X 8") plein air sketch of a guava tree in a pasture, was painted on location on Thompson Road. A painting done in Hana, down Hamoa Beach Road, looks back at Haleakala, an unusual point of view. Another work of the same size, 42" X 48", was painted as a commission and will be included in the show, as will its sketch, painted on location at Keanae Peninsula on the way to Hana. The subject is of one fisherman, his surroundings suffused in the last glow of intensity at sunset.

Included in the show will be some smaller plein air works, such as one done on the ranch on Thompson Road. Also to be shown but not for sale are some small beautiful portraits of the artist's wife, Jennifer. The artist remarked that they may be a prelude to future paintings of the figure in landscape, as in works by some of his mentors in art history- Anders Zorn, Sorolla, John Singer Sargent. He also remarked that he does not title his paintings until he is done for he lets the work tell him what it is about.
