Feel the warmth of a Hawaiian morning and the rhythm of the ocean in “Paddler’s Headquarters”, a 12x24 framed original oil painting by award-winning Oʻahu artist Mark Brown. Painted entirely en plein air—on location and under natural light—this work captures the timeless energy of Hawaiʻi’s canoe culture and coastal life.
With his signature brushwork and mastery of light, Mark brings to life the vivid blues, greens, and golds of the islands, evoking the camaraderie, tradition, and spirit of aloha that define Hawaiʻi’s paddling heritage. The piece radiates movement and connection, inviting the viewer to feel the trade winds and hear the rhythmic splash of paddles on water.
Mark Brown is one of Hawaiʻi’s most celebrated plein air painters and a dedicated instructor at the University of Hawaiʻi. His work is painted entirely outdoors, allowing him to capture the fleeting play of light, color, and emotion found in Hawaiʻi’s landscapes.
For Mark, painting on-site is both challenge and meditation—a way to connect deeply with nature’s essence. His art is featured in galleries and collections throughout the islands, known for its authenticity, energy, and unmistakable sense of place.
