royal hawaiian

in 2012, my wife and i won our second trip to hawaii on the radio.  the first win was our honeymoon.  the second was, well, our second.  the second trip put us within a short walk to this place, the royal hawaiian hotel.  it is perhaps the flagship of the hawaiian tourist industry, and a beautiful building.  on our first day back on the island, we enjoyed a couple mai tais at it's mai tai bar.  the next morning, i took my watercolor gear and set up under a magnificent tree in the lush courtyard.  i started this 16x20in piece that day.  i finished it back at home in burbank on new years 2013.  i hope you enjoy.
