Anna Good is just outstanding..

For years I've been coming to "the Islands" to Surf its contests and dive into its awsome lively ocean. I've put to use my digital water cameras and land cameras to capture the beauty of the Island of Maui, The Big Island, Oahu,(and Tahiti), etc...
I was always drawn to the art galleries on every trip on front street.
Now, Maui is such a beautiful media and On many evenings I can be found in Lahaina strolling from gallery to gallery.
But my favorite is Sargents art Gallery where you could find me fixated on the paintings of Anna Good. I would be emulating Annas pallate knife strokes and was in awe of her fasinating color mixtures and the thickness of the oils.
Well she caught me a number of times standing in front her outstanding works of love..
She challanged me to get back into the artistic side of me.
I did. She has my 1st piece of art and asked me why haven't been doing this for the last 30 years?? and from that point on I've kept in touch and have about 20 pieces done and "so many started" and another 80 to 100 "plus" rattling around in my head and over a thousand photos yet to be tapped.
Sargents Gallery is filled with many breathtaking pieces of art in various mediums. You must stop in..
And to Anna, Thank you for seeing something in me that I had forgotten, my artistic side.
Thank you all, Jim Pilkenton(Retired Pro surfer and traveler)..
