Paint it again Sam

Sometimes people see a painting that is already sold and ask me if I can paint one similar for them.  Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't (or won't for various reasons).

​I did this recently for a lovely couple from Arlington Va. While visiting  Key West they saw a painting called Firebird.  As a navy couple they had been stationed in Hawaii twice and remembered the bird of paradise flowers with fondness.  They wanted a tangible reminder of their Hawaiian memories. Who could say no to that? 

​I was more than happy to paint Hawaiian Memories for them.
