My first original of Maui was inspired by a visit to Kamehameha Beach in Lahaina, next to the harbor, which is one of my favorite places to surf. The lefts there can be pretty fast and fun for a regular footer like me. On this particular day I took several photos of the beach and water, then combined them with my imagination and crayons to create a piece of art that portrays what paradise "feels like"... the air in Lahaina is always invigorating and the atmosphere is alive with happy people everywhere. I can usually count on the sun shining and the weather being just perfect! I titled the piece LAHAINA and framed it in my signature floating crayon frame design with the title printed on the crayon wrapper serving as a nameplate for the artwork. The original is available at Images Fine Art Gallery in Lahaina.
ACCORDING TO CRAYOLA: "Jeffrey Robert... creates Rembrandt-like pieces using absolutely nothing but Crayola Crayons. Jeffrey Robert inspires adults and children everywhere to recognize and utilize the simplest of mediums, one that we've all used at one time or another and most likely have lying around the house, as a tool to explore and develop their creative and artistic side."
