Spent a peaceful evening with Stephanie, David, and "Banma", David's zebra.




Went to Maui for a week. We stayed in Lahaina on the west coast of the island. These watercolors highlight the bamboo rainforest Bill and I explored, the sugar cane fields, the bay next to Lahaina where we saw MANY humpback whales and their calves, quick sketches at a beach, and one of my favorite highlights of the trip, sitting under a 150 year old banyan tree in downtown Lahaina and just painting. The building above is the ABC store and the Front Street Grill. Aloha!
"So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people." from President Elect Barack Obama's Victory Speech at Grant Park, Chicago, IL. November 4, 2008.
