View to Lanai Hawaii Tropical Dreamscape

My Inspiration: Living in Hawaii I found some of my happiest times were painting trips to Lanai. Lanai is the most secluded island in Hawaii and also called the Pineapple Island because of the past island wide active plantations. The only town is Lānaʻi City, a small settlement. 
The peaceful atmosphere there is created because there are no traffic lights, no shopping malls, and no public transportation. Special places and beautiful views can be visited only via dirt roads
 that require a four wheel vehicle. 
Painting on the island involves my hiking into secluded areas carrying a back pack with all painting supplies and an easel. This is very much like hiking in Bermuda to get up close and personal with the area you wish to paint, but well worth the effort in both places.
I usually go over via a short trip across the Auau Channel on the Maui-Lanai Ferry, beautiful views all the way, return on
 the last Ferry of the evening.
