Did you know that Marionette also does Pet Portraits?
As an artist I am mostly known for my paintings of Kauai - tropical landscapes and seascapes, ocean life, exotic flowers, etc.. - but I have been doing custom pet portraits for years. It is an amazing way to celebrate your favorite loyal companion. I've also painted several as memorial gifts for special pets that have passed away in honor of their tremendous love.
If you would like your own original pet portrait, just contact me and I'll give you the details. As well as dogs, I've done cats, llamas, horses, guinea pigs, and even an axolotl. πΎππΎ❤️πΎ
Aloha,

Poipu Turtles at Sunset - Original Acrylic Painting on stretched canvas
https://kauaiartist.etsy.com/listing/1662791737
My painting theme for 2024 so far has been the lovable green sea turtle, also known as honu in Hawaiian. They have really made an extraordinary comeback of the last few years, and it is a truly an incredible phenomenon to witness where the green sea turtles come ashore at sunset on Poipu Beach. It warms my heart to see the population increasing on Kauai, and it fills me with a sense of wonder and hope. If you visit, please keep your distance and do not touch them. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy their company.
They are such gentle and loving creatures and that's why I painted "Honu Hugs and Love". I saw these two love turtles hanging out at Poipu Beach one evening when there was about 40 turtles on the beach at sunset. They were off in their own little corner snuggling and cuddling, so I just had to capture this moment on canvas.

As 2023 was winding down, I was painting my "Celebration of the Feminine Divine" theme with more powerful women gazing out over the ocean while contemplating their life's journey and what they need to accomplish for 2024. In "Transform the World" this lady is signalling her call to action to create positive change that can make a difference in the world to heal our planet and bring forth love and joy to all of its inhabitants. In "Let it Shine" she is celebrating the radiant energy of life itself and taking a moment to express her gratitude for all that is good in the world. And finally, "Joyfully Living" expresses contentment. She is happy, fulfilled and thankful for the blessings bestowed on her. Mahalo Ke Akua!
I hope you have enjoyed these new pieces of art. Aloha from the Garden Island of Kauai!

What's New and On the Easel?
Summer is winding down and fall is just around the corner, but you'd never know it if you live on the island of Kauai. (Still feels like summer to me! LOL) I've been busy painting as usual and these are some of my latest creations:
Na Pali Radiance

Kauai's Na Pali Coast's will amaze you with it's jagged cliffs that rise steeply and sharply above the turquoise blue of the ocean. Here we see rays of light illuminating these emerald valleys carved into the landscape by the crashing waves and rain over millions of years. I am awestruck by the grand beauty that nature has created for us to enjoy!

Find Marionette's Art at Cane Field Clothing and Gallery on Kauai
I am so excited to announce that some of my original paintings are now available at a super lovely boutique at Kilohana called Cane Field Clothing and Gallery. It's located upstairs from the famous Gaylord's restaurant in Lihue.
A big Mahalo Nui Loa goes out to Cheri and Dawn for choosing my art for this chic island boutique! According to the website, "Cheri and Tiare Atkins, the mother/daughter powerhouse duo, opened Cane Field Clothing & Gallery in the grand master bedroom at Kilohana Plantation in 2012. Together they have created a stylish and fun shopping experience for kama’aina as well as the many visitors who stop by the Plantation every day."
