I once sailed from Hawaii to California on a yacht. It was an adventure! The Pacific Ocean is very big and very different from day to day. It feels so uncaring. Some days it seemed to be my friend and other days it seemed like it was trying to kill me. I don’t think it
What is the point ~ AI Painting ~~~For millions of years waves have been pounding beaches. It makes me wonder what is the point? Nothing has changed. All over the world beaches are being pounded day after day. The beaches do not ever seem to go away and the waves never stop. I think the
Rough Surf ~ AI Painting ~~~ When I was young I was a strong swimmer and would go out and play in surf like this. One day my Dad watched me and he was freaked out. Surf like this is dangerous, but when you are young it does not matter. Now I prefer to sit
Summer Afternoon ~ AI Painting ~~~ One of the nicest things about living at the beach is getting out of the house and waking across the dunes into the infinite space of the beach. I love the days like this one when the air is calm and the water is clear and the ocean invites
The Long Walk ~ AI PaintingWhen I lived near the beach I loved to go for long walks. Our beach stretched on for miles and miles so I could walk as far as I wanted. When I try to recall what I thought about on these walks, I get nothing. I assume I thought about
After Work ~ AI PaintingGrowing up in Hawaii the thing to do was to go to the beach after school. And of course this carried on for years. After work there was nothing nicer than hitting the surf. I can recall wading into the cool water up to my bathing suit and then diving into
Many years ago, I spent the summer at a friend’s beach house. The best thing about youth is the wonderful feeling of no problems. You don’t have to worry about girlfriends, money, housing or a boss. Just a bit of worry regarding school, but that was not a big deal. Anyway, this AI painting reminds
I don’t know if it is just me, but I think everyone has a special experience at the beach. I can’t put my finger on it exactly, but I know when I am at the beach, everything seems to make sense. Is it the wind, the waves, the space, the smell of fresh air? I
I was lucky to grow up right on the beach in Lanikai, Hawaii. Lani means heavenly and kai means water. The name is perfect. There were days we called, A Lanikai Day. The water was clear and the breeze very light. We would go for a swim in this wonderful water. This is a painting
Many years ago, I lived in Hawaii and I have a memory of this scene, looking out from a beach on Maui towards the island of Lanai. This is a specific space at a specific time. Einstein said the universe is made from something he called Space/Time. I have listened to many talks about his
One thing I have never understood is why would anyone want to go out on a sailboat? If you work hard all year and think you can relax on a sailboat, you are mistaken, it is really hard work. When you do have time to relax on a boat it is really boring. Sailing on
Whenever I am at the beach I am always fascinated by the endless stream of waves that are forever rolling onto the beach, they never stop. Makes me wonder, “Why?” I suppose it is a useless question but I can’t help it. There are so many unanswered questions in life that I asked as a
This rock is being pounded by the waves. In a million years it will be gone, but that seems like forever, which makes me think about forever. When I was young I thought I would live forever. Now that I am almost 80 I am not so sure. How long is forever anyway? View online
Have you ever gone to a clear, blue water beach and really wanted to jump in? I have seen kids who did not have a bathing suit and so their parents told them not to go in, but they somehow accidentally fell in. As an adult I get frustrated at the beach when “I cant
Hapuna Beach Hawaii ~ AI Painting In the 60s I would visit Hapuna Beach on the big island of Hawaii. Of all the beaches in the world, Hapuna was the best. Clear water, fun surf, hardly anyone around. It was always magic. I after a swim I would lie in the sun and wonder what
Sunrise At Byron Bay ~ AI Painting Byron Bay is one of the loveliest places on Earth. It is on the east coast of Australia. I lived there for a few years and would often walk to the beach before sunrise and feel at one with the universe as the sun came up. Some days
AI Painting ~ I remember going to the beach and wanting to just sit and stare out at the ocean. This was very helpful. I don’t think I ever came up with any big ideas, just some intense downtime. I did not walk or play or talk; did not even think. More Info
Afternoon Dip AI Painting ~ Many years ago, in Hawaii, in the afternoons we would walk on the beach and usually we would take off our shits and go for a swim. This image reminds me of the beach and those wonderful afternoons. One day I invited a girl over for a walk and of
Today it is calmThis was one summer day and I was at the beach in Elwood near Melbourne in Australia. The water was flat as glass and the sky was perfectly clear. The air was a bit crisp but the sun was warm. It reminded of the days I had spent in Hawaii where I
High Tide AI Painting ~ I spent many years growing up on a beach in Hawaii and I have wonderful memories of walking along the beach at high tide. There is a special feeling that only comes with a high tide. It was always a nice time to go for a swim. In this image
Golden Sunset Over Ocean WavesAI created this beautiful image of a sunset. This reminds me of when I lived in Hawaii and I would watch the sunsets at Waikiki beach. One night everyone started clapping just as the sun set. It is hard to tell if this is a sunrise or a sun set. But
Water Fall A friend of mine, John, asked me if I could do a waterfall painting to enhance the feng shui in his house. To be honest, I had never heard that a painting could do this, but he said he needed water flowing. It took several attempts to get the right style. At first
This seascape explores the quiet beauty of a sunlit shoreline, where soft turquoise waves roll toward warm sand beneath a luminous sky. Gentle cloud formations drift across the horizon, adding balance and atmosphere to the composition. Layered brushwork brings movement to the water, while subtle color transitions—from deep marine blues to pale greens in the

With a luminous sky and shimmering water, the scene blends warmth, clarity, and ocean-side tranquility — a perfect moment of calm preserved in glowing coastal color.

Kailua Beach Surf ~ AI PaintingAbout the time I turned 10 I learned how to surf on a board. We lived near Kailua Beach in Hawaii, and I would often go there and attempt to surf. The waves broke right on the beach so it was not a great surfing spot, but I spent hours
It took a few attempts and corrections but I got AI to come up with this image. I love it. I wish I could paint this well. Maybe someday I will. But in the mean time I am really enjoying AI.What is really cool is these can be printed and hung on a wall. Check
I’m excited to welcome you to my new online gallery — a space where coastal beauty, dreamlike impressions, and artistic exploration come together. I grew up on the beaches of Hawaii, lived along the shores of Australia, and now call Clearwater, Florida home. The ocean has always been my muse — its moods, colors, and
