"Poolside"

"Poolside"The Queen Kapiolani Hotel commissioned me to create a mural in their restaurant and pool bar last year. At the time, it was closed for renovation which meant I had my own private view of Diamond Head every day while I worked on the mural. I would take my breaks in a chaise lounge beside the empty pool and soak in all the pop art ambiance. The dancing reflections of palm trees and neighboring buildings were so captivating, I had to capture it in paint.
