Esperance<\/strong> is one of the growing number of artisits in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Let’s face it, Hawaii is certainly art in itself. The scenes, the ocean, the people, the flowers, the food all lend themselve to be show-cased. And who better to do this than a Hawaii Artist.<\/p>\n

Esperance<\/strong> paints from the heart. He feels and he uses his painintg to express that rare emotion that has bubbled out of him. He then uses hos brus and colors to catpture that on a canvas.<\/p>\n

Esperance <\/strong>has a rare gift for painting. His father painted, and he has grown up painting from his youth.<\/p>\n

While in Madagascar<\/strong>, he sold his paintings for little to local hotels who later sold them for much more. He paints for the love of it, and some of his best paintings are truly works of art. He supplements his hands on knowledge in various ways, including lessons from the Honolulu Academy of Art and from retired Punahou School Art teacher Bob Badham.<\/p>\n

One of the most impressive things about Esperance’s painting is how prolific he is. He can paint a couple of scenes in one day, a postcard in one hour. Because painting is second nature to him, he can do it quickly. When he wants to enhance a favorite scene with exquisite detail, he will take longer on a painting- up to a day or stretching out touch-ups across a couple of days.<\/p>\n

To date, Esperance has painted more than 100 paintings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
