When I bought the long narrow block of paper I though I would do horizontal panoramas. But everything about the Na Pali coast is vertical. What no photo or painting can ever convey is scale. The size of those cliffs rising from the ocean is phenomenal and the vastness of the sea is breathtaking. I could see the curve of the earth! Being a native of Oregon, John is just stupefied by warmth in February.

Beautiful painting. I hope you are enjoying every single second of your time there :)
The decision to go vertical was so right. Lovely inspired piece.
Oh joy! Pure joy! Drink it in.
You already know that I like vertical landscapes and this one is stunning. I love the photographs, too, both of John and of the coastline/jungle.
Vertical is always my preferred orientation. Great views and great painting. How lucky you are.
