Inspiration: "Kalama Beach" is a spot where I learned to body surf. It was a time when my younger brother Kent (who is now a Lifeguard) and I would our fins, catch the bus and hope for good surf. We didn't need anything big, we were happy with a 2 feet set but it did get larger. Then we graduated to Bellows Beach. - 11/22/2024 - Lanikai Winter Craft Fair 2024 Featuring Hawaii Art From Hawaii Artist Mark N. Brown

Inspiration: "Three Tables" is an area I liken to the wild North Shore. It has a power to it, but it also has a quiet nature. It's a great place to chill when the other well-known areas are maxed out with people. A good place to paint. - 11/11/2024 - Waikiki Beach 2014 Miniature Hawaii Art Image
Inspiration: "Waikiki Beach" has to be viewed from a distance in order for it to come together visually. It's a lot of information to put on a small canvas but I don't want to reach for a small brush. There's a lot of energy going on at the beach and using a small brush would only diffuse that power. - 11/4/2024 - Lanikuhonua / Koolina

Inspiration: "Kona Surf" was inspired by Lahaina Galleries as they entertained the idea of having me work with them at their Big Island Gallery supplying paintings. They loved the painting I sent them as a sample but they decided to seek an artist who was based in the Big Island. They are a quality gallery that I hope to work with one day. - 10/21/2024 - Olapa Sandy's
Inspiration: "Olapa Sandy's" was painted on the mid zone of Sandy Beach where surfing is permitted. Usually in the break, only bodysurfing is allowed but either way, they both get my respect. Olapa is used in Hawaiian Hula, as "in the style of" and the parade of warriors of men/boys, women/girls that take on the shore break is awesome! - 10/14/2024 - Kaiser Bowls By Hawaii Artist Mark N. Brown
Ref. No.: 27751 Size: 36" x 48" ** - 10/7/2024 - 2 Man Canoe Of Color
Inspiration: The "2 Man Canoe of Color" caught my eye as a paintable subject because it was dwarfed by all the larger racing canoes in Kailua, Oahu. Although it was smaller, it had a large presence and voice because of the space surrounding it and the other canoes were stacked visually against each other which became a blur, making the smaller one have a loud voice. - 10/1/2024 - Hawaii Artist Mark N Brown Newsletter October 2024

It is a non-credit class that I have been teaching since year 2000. I do a demo from 8:00 am to 9:00 am and show my fellow artists how I would tackle the scene. I have learned so much by instructing this class. I use a good saying, "When one teaches, two learn". - 8/5/2024 - Koko Head Nocturne
Inspiration: Koko Head was painted in full sunlight during a summer day and changed in the studio into a night painting as the moon appeared in one of the 2 sessions as I was finishing up my plein air work.There was a City & County of Honolulu maintenance crew at Kuliouou Park named Les was always an encouraging presence when he would take care of the grounds. His son was in the arts, and Les wanted to paint in my class when he retired. The fishermen would wade onto the tide pools for tako (squid) and most times reminded me of myself when I paint, like fishing was a singular pursuit. - 8/1/2024 - Hawaii Artist Mark N Brown Newsletter August 2024

Size: 36x48 ** Inspiration: Painting the Wailua Pioneer Farms Sunflowers was done in two sessions out of a need to capture the scene before the sunflowers wilted and were plowed under. The sunflowers only would bloom during a 3-week period and I thank Pioneer Farms and fellow artist Nani for coordinating our artist visit. Being the artist with the most experience, Nani and Linh Tang deferred to me. Should we paint up close or from far? I choose from afar, and did the mountains in the background with the Sunflowers in the mid ground. I later second guessed myself because I reasoned that the mountains would always be there, but not the Sunflowers. But when I returned for my 2 session, I got up close and personal to the Sunflowers and it all fell into place with this painting.- 10/1/2022 - Miniature Hawaii Fine Art Collection

Inspiration: Queens is a favorite location of mine and as Oahu started to open up again, I felt the energy to take on a 48" x 60" on location. I got to the beach by 7am and everything fell into place. The weather was good and I painted nonstop until 6pm and it felt right. The best part was the onlookers that kept me company. I was tired and packed up to leave carrying a wet painting, a back pack and a smaller French easel to mix my paints on. I left behind my larger easel for a 2nd trip but just as i got to my van, a warm and friendly skateboarder dropped that off to me with a big smile. Right on!- 9/12/2022 - Stormy Day At Makapu'u Beach
