April is a great time of year. Good surf, lots of animals, and the anticipation of summer. I hope you enjoy this months newsletter and please join me sometime in Hawaii or maybe even in your hometown. My newest original painting “Morning Breach- Kilauea” is now available in Gicle’e, matted prints and the originals is also available (see image/links below). This painting features a humpback whale in full breach with the cliffs of the Kilauea lighthouse behind it.

007 himself has periodically blessed Patrick Ching Art Gallery in Princeville, Kauai. I also get to see him surfing at Hanalei Bay sometimes.
