Aloha,
Presenting a Peter Hayward original, this oil painting captures a serene beach scene, skillfully rendered with his renowned palette knife technique that vividly brings to life the flora and topography of Hawai'i. Born in Keene, NH, and a graduate of Middlebury College, Hayward was one of Hawaii's significant painters, celebrated for his wide-ranging subjects from urbanscapes to seascapes.
In this exquisite composition, the foliage and trees are portrayed with dynamic strokes and lush colors that seem to sway with the tropical breeze, framing a small boat with a visible keel resting ashore. The rich textures and varied greens of the palm fronds and brush under the clear sky reflect Hayward's ability to evoke the vibrant, natural beauty of the Hawaiian landscape.
Peter and his wife, Hope, moved to Hawai'i in the 1960s, and Hayward spent a large portion of his life in Hauula, HI, drawing profound inspiration from his surroundings. He spent his later years painting near Punalu'u, from his beachfront studio-part of an artist and writer's retreat from urban Honolulu. His works, known for their exceptional quality and increasing rarity, have steadily risen in value, making this piece not only a visual delight but a valuable investment. This painting offers collectors an opportunity to own a piece of Hawaii's artistic heritage, immortalized by Hayward's masterful hand.
