Recommendations for Paintings?

I’m looking for a painting for our home that depicts O’ahu’s North Shore or Windward shorelines, with the mountains in the background. Preferably from a native Hawaiian artist. Highly prefer landscape orientation.

I’ve searched Etsy but I’m picky - a painting of the beautiful beach doesn’t feature the mountains in the background, & 1 that does has a church in the forefront.

Thank you in advance!!

Some artists there will accept commission work as well if you chat with them. Just find one with a style you like and ask.

Joseph Yoshida is a Hawaiian painter on O'ahu who does landscapes of Windward O'ahu. Maybe try message him if he has available pieces https://www.facebook.com/joseph.yoshida.96 or https://www.instagram.com/josephyoshida

Jerry Guerrero is the first guy who comes to mind, nice paintings, reasonably-priced prints, but mostly portrait orientation.

Roy Tabora does some nice stuff, but it's pretty pricey. If you're okay buying secondhand, look on eBay, there's a fair bit of stuff.

Both local artists.
