Aloha everyone.  Recently I was commissioned to paint the Haleakala sunrise.  I forced myself to get up at 3:30 to drive an hour and a half to get to the top of the to see the sunrise.  I barely made it with 30 seconds to spare.  The sunrise was magnificent.  I couldn't believe how cold it was and how many people were up there to see it.  If you ever go to Maui, I highly recommend it, but get a good nights rest!  I painted a painting for my T.V. show Art Made Easy.  It airs August.  Check the Art Made Easy page for show times.

Here is a sea of clouds waiting for the dawns first light.

Here the sun starts its ascent

Here is a close up of the sun

Here is the sun at full blossom

Here we are at the top of the world!

Aloha Everybody!
