"Backyard Beach" is one of my favorite paintings. It is special to me because it truly is my very own backyard beach in West Maui. I make it a point to sit down there every Sunday to enjoy the fabulous view and weather that is the best thing about my home. Every day is different as the clouds dance over our neighbor islands. I took this photo on a Sunday morning when the ocean had just washed the sand in and covered the reef so that I was able to capture the cast shadow of the palm tree on the wet sand. Usually this is exposed reef and the shadow is hard to see. I am so glad I ran upstairs to get my camera to take the shot that became this painting.
